You have to understand that SBI's "suggestions" are less that and more like blackmail. If you don't hire them, they will get the word out that you're a hateful bigot who has no place in this industry, and for most studios it's too much of a hassle. Better to give in to the protection racket and shit up your game on their behalf, of course some studios ruin their games more than others. Looks like Valve took the minimal approach for Alyx, but it still did so at all and that's worrying.I don't know if I buy that heavily into all the SBI stuff when it comes to Valve, not to say that they are above it. Having played Alyx and Deadlock they don't play into that crap at all really. At the end of the day I think Valve just want to make games.
