I hope Origin wont start a trend of companies making their own Steam rip-offs. I remember downloading one for specific mods and freeware games and it was awful and clunky. Besides, I'd prefer to have all the apples in one basket.

If you're referring to GOG having free games, thats nothing. Those games have been freeware for a while, no thanks to GOG.
And yes, Steam does have couple of free games. Recently introduced couple of online games using F2P method (you know, standard free game, pay a little for extras) and quite recently Team Fortress 2 was also turned into free game (with very small differences between free and premium users, and you can become premium just by buying any item from the item store, like Scouts soda for 0,39€). There's also Alien Swarm, a completely freeware action game.
