Read that multiple times and it seems that termination of a Steam account not only locks one out of downloads but also strips your license to legally use anything previously downloaded...DRM free or not.

Yes, the right of license termination option always remains open, however I think you missed the key difference. The GOG terms do not indicate that maintaining a GOG account is a licensing requirement. The termination of a GOG account does not automatically terminate the license of any software bought.
