Well, unfortunately this isn't totally unreasonable. When you buy a game off Steam, you pay them for their infrastructure/overheads, bandwidth and profits. By buying it on a different platform, you've given them nothing, so they don't owe you anything.
In some cases you can tie the game to Steam. This likely because they've done a deal with the software house, where they got paid a fee for this.

I remember when 2142 was on there dl service EA imposed a time limit on how long you would be able to re download and install the game,
something like 2 yr's or something then you would have to buy it again if you needed to reinstall.
It was hidden in the License agreement.
