And some Steam games have the retail DRM forced onto them by the publisher. That doesn't preclude you exercising a choice, even if the choice is not to buy.
Well choosing not to buy a game that I would really like to play can hardly be called a choice. And this is also not how I interpreted your post, which seem to imply that STEAM is just another distribution platform, different from retail. I just wanted to point out that this is not the case as STEAM is sometimes imposed when there is no valid reason whatsoever to do so (that is, for playing a single-player game I bought through retail) and is no different from DRM in that regard.
