I have the same question. I guess the answer lies in UBI's involvement - they want to milk the pre-purchase and the first couple of weeks, but since they're not able to sustain DRM, updates and generally want to cut their expenses they'll use Steam for the longer term. Still I don't have any idea why 1C and Oleg decided to tie up with UBI again, they literally bring nothing to the table - half-arsed website, shooting the game off to Steam at the earliest convenience and they're bad publicity all over. If it's for the collector's edition - that could've been taken care of through a direct channel too (like DCS people do with the printed manual and maps).
