Why is it unacceptable? Your games are linked to your account forever, it's not like EA Link where you have to pay extra if you want to be able to reinstall them in 2 years' time. You can back up the games. Steam has an offline mode where if your internet connection is out you can still play the games. Valve have promised to "unlock" Steam in the event that they go out of business. There is no limit to the number of computers you can install your games on (you can just only use one at a time). I don't understand what the problem is.
But if it turns out you do have a problem with that for some reason, why not check out Stardock Central? Stardock publishes great independent games with ABSOLUTELY NO DRM. They have been successful with the Galactic Civilizations series and more recently Sins of a Solar Empire.
