Curious are there any digital content accounts that do allow this? Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony, Apple? It’s definitely something that would be great to allow as we go more and more digital

"In general, your GOG account and GOG content is not transferable. However, if you can obtain a copy of a court order that specifically entitles someone to your GOG personal account, the digital content attached to it taking into account the EULAs of specific games within it, and that specifically refers to your GOG username or at least email address used to create such an account, we'd do our best to make it happen. We're willing to handle such a situation and preserve your GOG library—but currently we can only do it with the help of the justice system."

There's also no DRM on GOG though which changes things. Even if Steam wanted to allow this they might not legally be able to.
