Gog have been doing DRM free games for a while

As far as I know GOG also sells drm content and Steam also sells drm-free content. So what's the point

they'll be quite keen to fill this niche

I also don't remember them doing anything for Linux apart from releasing a broken port then badmouthing people who complained that the game they bought is broken.

Isint Steam a form of DRM? You effectively cant play your games if you dont have an account I thought

No, you can for the games that don't have drm, just launch the executable. Steam itself doesn't require any drm. Even the games that use Steam services can be drm-free. Here's the list of some drm-free Steam games
