Looks really cool, might need to get this!

What actually suprised me though was the almost 10% return rate on steam sales that the article did not even comment on. Is this typical? Are there a lot of people that pretty much demo and return games?

Don't think its necessarily a bad thing, just the numbers are unexpectedly high...

I'd say 10% is pretty good; for a long time, one of the biggest criticisms of a lot of games and publishers nowadays was the lack of a demo or a return policy for digital purchases, meaning people were more hesitant to buy games on a whim or some people got scammed with an unfinished or broken game.
