Where Valve (etc) would take a cut?

I don’t think it would make sense for them to with steam. GFN is available everywhere steam is. They also don’t use app store billing services and payment isn’t made “in app.” So they aren’t paying either Apple or Google.

Indeed. The hardware renting isn’t free.

But people often seem to think that games are locked to gfn. You’re just renting hardware to play games you own.

It’s available on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS. They’re not really monetizing anything in the way I think you’re taking about because it’s not a storefront. They don’t sell games and games aren’t tied to gfn because it’s not a platform. You really just rent hardware from them.
