Unfortunately, it's not just an Epic Games exclusive, it's actually published by Epic Games. Which means it probably won't ever come to Steam.
The rest of the Alan Wake franchise (and the Control franchise, including the upcoming Control 2) are published by 505 Games or Remedy themselves, so those all get Steam releases.
The Alan Wake 1 remaster is also published by Epic
It sucks because i'd love to get my hands on the Alan Wake remaster and Alan Wake II on steam if they put it on there, if only so i can have easier integration with Steam's QOL features. Maybe one day Remedy will pull what they did with the OG Alan Wake when they bought the publishing rights from Microsoft and buy the Publishing rights to Alan Wake II from Epic
