It's definitely a compelling offering. I don't think one model has to win over the other though. There will be room for subs and there will be room for steam libraries where you own licenses as well in the future.
For me personally I have a hard time justifying game pass. I only complete 2-3 games a year at best and it's really expensive at that rate.

Weirdly, that's the exact reason that I can justify Game Pass. Though I imagine you mean that you only play 2-3 games thoroughly, where I play a much larger number of games through the year, but rarely for long enough to finish them.
That's fair, I could see if you wanted to try a bunch of games first. I have to admit I take them up on the 3 month trial every year or to do just that. But I always do the trial with the intention of playing a bunch of games and then never play one! Hah! But that is not their fault, it is mine.
That's me. When I want to wind down, I usually play a card based roguelike of some sort. I rarely finish the game (my current one is a game based on solitaire), but I get my money's worth out of it each month.
