Okay Valve is also a publisher but how many games have they published from outside developers?

Literally every game on Steam that isn't their own. 🤦‍♂️

It sounds like you don't know what publishing means.

Dude running a store isn’t publishing. 🤦‍♂️Like a book publisher and a book store are two different things. I work in the games industry nobody says that their games are published by Valve when they put their games on Steam. Valve distributes games which is different from publishing. Does Valve make the store art for each game, write the marketing blurb and game description, do they contact journalists/streamers for each game and create the trailer for each game? No Valve does non of that, since that’s the job of the publisher the developer works with. Steam has literally a text field on each game page that says who the publisher of each game is and only on Valve games it says that the publisher is Valve. Sounds like you don’t know what publishing means.
