A lot of it is Ubisoft knowing that this will get more people onto Uplay. Remember that this isn't an Epic Games exclusive. Either way, Ubisoft gets more revenue.

Yeah there will be more Epic+Uplay only games to come they've said, they're in a full partnership now and are working on further store/community integration, partly because Ubisoft are also pushing for heavy crossplay (Consoles/other stores) like Epic.

You pretty much need Uplay anyway even through Steam. So I don't really think it'll matter if it is through steam or not.
