Is there a reason I should pay double for Steam version?
Never losing access to it and having all games in one place is why I use Steam.
I find if I buy a game outside of Steam that I never pick it up after playing it a while. But inside Steam the discoverability is there even after several machine migrations and I always dip in.
The premium is slight on expensive games, but you've found an extreme example by comparing a reseller to Steam. I'd still buy from Steam.

Just got a new laptop and I fancy getting all nostalgic and playing OG command and conquer. I see there is a 2020 remaster (that looks like C&C and Red Alert, but slightly polished)
On CDkeys it is £4 "on origin" and £8 "on Steam"
When I were a lad, you bought a game, installed and played it.
I am aware that launchers now exist, but haven't used one.
