Valve is private and already takes a 30% cut.

Yes. That is rather high, but AFAIK the same on Xbox, PlayStation and GOG. Itch.io is on 10%.

It's not possible for valve OR epic to enshit according to the definition of the word.

What do you mean by that? Enshittyfication is when companies try to offer a good platform first to reach many content producers and consumers and then, once the consumers and producers depend on the platform, it goes bad for them in order to favor profits of the company owners or stakeholders.

Just because a company is private, it can still change to favor short term money extractions from all their customers.
