1. Gamers embrace digital distribution
You are reading too much into that. Just because they've spent the most on a particular service doesn't mean that they've 'embraced' digital distribution. If they've spent $5.00 for an Indy game, and nothing else, then they've spent the most money on that service.

76% of people polled on this site basically say that digital distribution is only 'okay' or worse. Which is far from embracing it.
2. ...done right (Steam, PSN, XBLA) and without charging money for 20-year-old roms (lol Nintendo)
If anything I think it goes to show that a lot of digital purchases ARE Indy games and the like. I'm not sure if Nintendo has any Indy games available. Most of their games are, as you've stated, re-releases.
3. Steam and PSN beating XBLA shows that people want to see a real price, not dumbass points
Then what about this poll:

While I personally prefer real prices too, I don't think that it matters too much to most people. That XBOX Live is keeping up pretty well seems to suggest that it doesn't matter, rather than that it does.
4. Steam would be kicking even more ass if this wasn't such an anti-PC site
Anti-PC? People keep saying that, but I don't get it. PC gaming isn't the most popular type of gaming on the site, but I'm not sure how that makes the site Anti-PC.
42% of the site owns a gaming capable PC that plays most or every game
73% of the site owns a gaming capable PC, but not a more recent one
63-69% own a Wii (Depending on which poll you use)
60-63% own a PS3 (depending on which poll you use)
55-58% own a 360 (Depending on which poll you use)
Less popular sometimes is just less popular.
