Epic Games pays other game publishers to exclusively release on EGS for a time, that's the complete opposite of having a GOG-codeveloped game (with the publisher being Capcom) being released on Steam.
Well, if you're more concerned with the publisher than the consumer, sure.

Quoting: pbI see a convoluted marketing ploy here...

GOG modernised the games and is listed as a developer, explicitly as GOG.com...
They themselves carry DRM-free versions of the games...
The Steam releases have an intrusive DRM...
Therefore they hope that people who learn of the re-releases only because they got listed on Steam, see that they have DRM, but also see the GOG.com badge, jump over to GOG and buy them there...

...but maybe it's just me. ;-)

I noticed the missing tray icon. I cared. Otherwise I've had zero problems with RT3 client betas so far.

New Steam Beta can run the Linux client inside a container with 64bit

No biggie but I noticed there's no System Tray icon/shortcut menu. Everything's running well.
