Steam won't be made optional, no, not ever, you might be able to crack it, but you would sacrifice multiplayer, anti-cheat, cloud backups, automatic updates and may or may not be legal in your country.
There are perfectly good reasons to dislike Steam, but "misinformed person said something that one time" is not one of them.
The majority of the PC gamer base uses Steam, and of all publishers Ubisoft is the least likely to listen to a wingey minority.
