You think they only waited for epic to drop an update as if they monitor them from the inside?

That's a next level conspiracy theory lol

    The market leader being lazy is not a conspiracy theory. It is perfectly reasonable to assume that a competitor showing it can be done better motivated Steam to improve their product. That dynamic is a main reason why competition is good for the customer.
