I'd rather have control over my digital items than gambling protection that infringes on what can I do with them

What items do you think that you have control over? You don't own anything in your account and it can be taken away for any reason or for no reason at all.

So your argument is because valve allows me to do whatever with my items, they should allow me less?

If you are a child and one of the things you want to do is gamble, yes.
