Nobody is saying otherwise.
This is a thread where someone claimed that you don't own the games on Steam but you do on GOG, this is the comment the person was replying to:
So yes, that's exactly what the person is saying. So the fact that GOG can't remotely wipe your drive is a strawman fallacy, because neither can Steam, and the differences between GOG and Steam is what's being discussed, so anything that is the same has no bearing on the discussion.
Again, the same is true for Steam, so that's a moot point when comparing GOG to Steam which is what this thread is about.
