One of these two entities actually lets me own my games. To where I can install them from local files even without an internet connection. One of these entities leases me games that I can install with an internet connection as long as they see fit. They are not the same.
That only applies if you’re selling Steam keys in the other store. If you sell access via other means (like direct download), you can price them however you want. Hence, thousands of itch.io games that are cheaper than their Steam versions.
Short of evidence for your claim, I’ll roll with the fact that, to my knowledge, there has never been a case of an itch.io game being bullied out of being cheaper than its Steam version.
Your “evidence” was from a YouTube video that doesn’t cite the source of the emails either, and I trust that as much as anyone should trust a Twitter screenshot. If you had a link to the actual emails that said that, I’d change my mind, but you’re being really weirdly defensive when simply being asked for a better source than an uncited YouTube video.

If you have a link to the actual emails, rather than a YouTube video for it, I’d be very interested in that.

Well, you made the claim, so 🤷
