You do know that Origin is a direct competitor to Steam? OFC they are "against" Steam, they want people to use Origin instead.

^EA are not against steam, well actually, they probably are since they have such a large piece of the pie when it comes to digital downloads.

But there is a difference between healthy competition and outward disapproval. The former is the case rather than the latter. Don't nit pick me you cheeky fella and maybe read posts better, know what I'm sayin'?
