Screenshots and streaming will not show in public hub because it's a no-steam game.
They MUST give us key and they MUST do it immediatly.

They don't have to do either of those things.
Screenshots you can do via attaching any game to Steam. However, I believe he's right in that you can't stream the game unless you own it on Steam. Unless you launch a Steam game and then have it capture Elite instead I suppose... but that's Jerry rigging it.
Can you show me your screenshots in the public hub? Elite: Dangerous one...? NOPE.
You can only on your profile, but even if you make those "public" nobody will ever see them, unless they go in your profile!

Apparantly yes, you can.
Honestly, I completely fail to see what the big deal is with ED on Steam. It wouldn't add even a 1% improvement to the game as far as I can tell.
Someone care to translate this into English?

You can, but you won't show on "Trasmission" hub, 'coz... NO-STEAM GAME! People must go on your profile and enter your streaming.
So, NOPE, you basically can't.

I've added E: D to my Steam library as a "non-steam" game. I can now:
- launch within Steam; and
- stream it to my HTPC (which is running Steam on Ubuntu)
I think getting a Steam key will just allow write access to the community features Steam provides for each game. i.e. reviews, broadcast, screenshots/video, forum, guides etc. As well as advertise to your Steam friends when and how often you play.

So, Frontier does "do wheelspin acceleration away with our cash", then...
But seriously, can't care less about the Steam key (although why Frontier wouldn't want the people who were interested enough in the game to kickstart it to be able to review it on the world's largest game marketplace is beyond my - admittedly limited - understanding), but I just popped up to say to all affected people we told you so.
I'm really sorry, but we warned you, back in the old days, back in the offline threadnaught(s). We told you you would be next.
Well, now you are. Welcome to the club; it's not a very happy place.
Or, as the saying goes, all of this has happened before, and will happen again (at least until the servers go down, and the game dies, and is forgotten).

Are you suddenly worse off? How would having a steam key make your world sunny and bright?

Calm down and get real.
As a former game dev, surely you would agree this is something which should have been addressed before release on Steam? We've no real option but to wait, and watch this pot boil.

Oh dear. Using up the special offline sadface "I told you so" on this? lol

The money was worth more than the fallout. This will no doubt get addressed eventually, but at the expense of some good will in the short term!

I'd love to see the people who want steam keys also point out WHY they really really want one despite not having bought one.
So far, only very few people (around 5, give or take a couple) have managed to specify why they would want a Steam key with actual reasons. The streaming bit is one such reason, the counting of total hours played in your Steam stats is another. Doesn't matter whether I think it's a miniscule benefit, at least it's there and the people who want this know what they want.
The rest is 188 pages is people who don't know how Steam works ("I need that key to get the overlay to work!"), or who have either unrealistic expectations ("It will get Workshop integration!!").
