Paradox did not enable DRM. Steam is much much more than DRM, it's a way of keeping your games in one place and a way to discover new games. Paradox has literally done next to nothing to protect their games from piracy, other than making that seven deadly sins video for Ck2.

It was established several pages ago that Steam doesn't meat the criteria to be a full blown DRM, as you can load up games without being logged into Steam and can remove the Steam component of the game manually.
 
Oh look, another STEAM SUCKS!!!1!!!1 thread.

Steam is here to stay.
You can configure steam to not update automatically, play offline, and fix other non-issues people have.
Steam allows you to have your games anywhere (especially useful for PD games, as they're usually pretty small) even without taking a disk
Steam has sales. A lot. And you save money. A lot of it.
Steam workshop.
Furthermore, you don't even need steam to play PD games, just download/install them (only the first install) and update.
