I like GOG okay, but Steam is about a decade ahead in terms of functionality and features. Yeah, the DRM sucks. Whatever. Most of my games work when I switch PCs just fine, saves and all, where that's a crapshoot with GOG.

I couldn't give two shits about functionality, achievements, friends or anything else. I just want to play a game...without being forced into doing other things/connecting to something/whatever whenever I like, wherever I like and be able to install it/uninstall/mod/etc how I like, locally, on my drive regardless of whether I have internet. Steam 'itself'...is DRM.
I don't want to have to install Steam and deal with it's almost daily fucking updates and have it running just to play a game (or start clicking shit to play 'offline'. Also, despite it's many circle-jerk fanboys, so many games do not actually work well on Steam compared to the original disc versions or GoG versions.
It's a hill I will die on and no amount of people telling me how fucking awesome it is and the best thing since sliced bread it is and wittering on about shit I really couldn't care less about is going to change my mind about Steam.

I had the opposite issues with GOG. Steam version of Cyberpunk ran better. Don't even get me started on the clusterfuck that's the MS Store/XBox app on PC. Ugh.
As for WIAB, we'll have to see, but I have no problems with the SG Steam version vs. the F95 version.

The "GOG version" of anything is just the raw game install plus a couple of files to plug in to the entirely optional overlay. But sure whatever works for you.

99.9% of every single Ren'Py game via Steam is exactly the same way you get it from Patreon/SS except it is a market build and meant to be ran on ALL OS's. There is only DRM on some and that is DRM inside of Ren'Py and that same DRM is bundled with their Patreon/SS version.
Bonus on some is when they have Patreon login, since Steam doesn't allow that, there goes some games DRM that never get implemented back in
So with "adult" games via Steam is is the "raw" game....

For the time Steam takes to respond again.
Cause your position in the line is lost, fix it and go back to waiting for assessment

The Steam image is only quoted to highlight the consequence of neglecting what should be a mostly copy-paste task
Im not making a statement about Steam's verification process, im commenting from a programmer's perspective

I don't know if I understand you completely, but from what I understand from your post:
*" won't be updating the gallery for Chapter 4" means that it will not use the new gallery and interface that is almost ready (made by Messe).
* Steam's problem is that they can't unlock the in-game sex scenes and that's why they are not unlocked in the gallery.
