We've recently added some features to the Workshop that should be pretty useful for both new and power users alike. The new Steam Client beta has various improvements around Workshop, including displaying which item is being downloaded in the Downloads page, and an improved interface for dealing with your Workshop item subscriptions (accessible from your game's Properties dialog).
Having competing platforms require games to move away from steam workshop in order to also service their customer on these other platforms might be a blessing and a curse at the same time.
I assume you mean Paradox and Cities Skylines 2 mods. I worry when their mod manager finally gets released, it will still have a fraction of the features and QOL that Steam Workshop has right now. Epic Games learned the hard way that it is extremely difficult to spin up a new product and compete with a product that has decades of maturity.
Absolutely true. There are several websites that also do mod support (for better or worse). I just think that having several options to provide mods to customers is better than having one option.

Finally some much needed updates.
