Silly me removed about 70 games from Steam library years ago. Today I have restored most of them via Stem support page and with purchases history.

Nearly 900 games have been delisted.

There's also Fable 3, which you can't buy anymore because it used Games for Windows, which resulted in no more CD keys.

Right, but Steam still let's people who own delisted games download and play them forever. (Well, assuming they're not live service games with no servers, but that's not a Valve problem.)

I believe you can still activate keys for delisted games. Meaning if you find a shop that sells them, you might be lucky. I never did that, just read reports of this. So can't actually verify if this is true. Provided there is no additional third party launcher or activation that hinders this.
