Interesting that it’s not the steam logo used for that meme…

It wasn't the ceo of steam who said you should get used to not owning games either. https://www.pcgamer.com/ubisoft-director-says-gamers-will-get-more-comfortable-not-owning-games-and-hes-not-wrong/
Ubisoft director says gamers will get more comfortable 'not owning' games, and he's not wrong

But it's probably premature to panic over the total death of game ownership.

You don’t own games on Steam either.

But I can play them without Internet (mostly).

Steam isn’t perfect. But it’s the best we have for now. And the trend currently is only getting worse.

The thing is that Steam doesn't have a history of shutting down a significant fraction of games they have available by themselves. Hence people don't criticize them.

Also you can (not saying that you should, I personally don't trust Gabe) put some tust in a private owned company if you trust the owners.

In case of public companies they are forced by law and major shareholders into making shortsighted decisions and prioritizing profit only.
