You're claiming you prefer a game distribution system with DRM to a game with no DRM applied. Do you see the flawed comparison here? First you compare the distribution system to the game itself. Then you don't take into account what a game could be distributed like...
So lets give this a try: To buy a specific game on steam, I have to 1) get steam 2) find the game I knew I wanted to buy 3) pay for it 4) download it. When I bought World of Goo, I did exactly the same steps, apart from the first one - but I got more out of it - I got a link for the binaries AND I can use them anywhere I want or keep them around in whatever way I want.
Why would you prefer to get less in more steps? Of course, many companies seem to try to make this process as painful as possible. That's not an argument for DRM though, but against stupid ways of distribution.
