Or even just make it more expensive on steam, if you really want 100% of the revenue for every sale. Pass the cost of using steam on to the user and offer the game on other (worse) markets at a markdown.

There could be a clause in terms of use that Steam won't allow developers to make their games most expensive on Steam, or at least cheaper than elsewhere.

Developers already do that fairly often. Typically indie devs. They will sell their game directly for lower prices than listed on steam.
