As far as I know he decided for the steam releases because during a visit in the USA a few years ago it came to his attention that western fans exist and that they have no easy way to legitinately buy touhou games.
It may be naive to assume this, but to me it seems like a move he made for us, the western fans.
I trust ZUN, to me he's the best game dev in existance.
After all if he really cared about money he could have sold the rights for touhou years ago and have a shitty anime made.
But he never did, because he cares.
That's how I see it
