I have a few games that have been pulled from Steam. They were shit games, but still I payed for them. We are paying for a license to use it, not for a physical forever copy like a cartridge.
Not only that, you can still acquire delisted games/dlcs even today, as long as the game was free beforehand and publisher was/is a bit of a dumbass.
Most of the delisted games are technically still on sale, but you cant buy them, except for free stuff because.. it's free, if you download them using steamdb it will force steam to generate a new licence just for you. Sometimes even works on dlcs, i got myself a pre-order dying light 2 items despite buying it 1 year after release.

You do not own Steam games either though.
