They have a rival it's called source 2. That's what CS, Dota and hl:Alyx used.
I mean, they have Source 2, but to call it a rival before it's even made it to third-party developers (Facepunch is effectively second party) is a bit of a stretch.
Sure, but pretty much nobody but Valve is using Source 2 for anything, though.
Yeah because it's still in development and not yet available. S&box is one of the "games" already using it in the background. When it releases to the public, it'll be just as popular as Source was - especially with the pricing strategy of "the only thing you need to pay for it is the steam fee" which is what, $100 per game?
A $100 deposit you get back if you actually sell your game and make money off of it. Technically not even a fee.
Is it? I last read about their pricing when greenlight was a thing and they said it's for the shop / adverts / all the cool things you get for support of the game. Didn't know they gave back the $100
