Which is the only way you can own and play a game without an internet connection?
That’s the only true DRM free and true ownership experience.

You’re moving the goalposts again?
Downloading a game isn’t DRM.

Yes it is as you depend on the goodwill of a digital platform. If Steam bans you how do you prove that you own the “DRM free” games you’ve bought from them and haven’t simply pirated them?

Why would you need to prove anything? The whole point of DRM free is that you don’t need to.
If steam bans me, I run the executables that I’ve downloaded. Same as I would if I pirated it.
Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft can block you from playing your physical media, and yet you claim that isn’t DRM, because the data exists on a disc/cartridge, rather than stored on an SSD.

Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft can block you from playing your physical mediaOnly if there’s an online component to the game. If I go buy a brand new Switch and a physical copy of Mario Kart, there’s nothing Nintendo can do to stop me from playing the game.
