I refund games all the time on Steam.

Biggest reason is substandard key rebinding options that assume every
player uses WASD (which I am willing to switch to for some single
player games, but typically not multiplayer).  Douchey keybinding
limitations like making the right mouse button hard-bound to a
specific function or whatever is mostly a side effect of consolitis,
and there isn't a viable technical reason for having a limitation like
that... and there is nothing like a "Keybinding
Flexibility/Accessibility Standard" that can be mentioned prior to
purchase "this game conforms to... (blah blah)...".

I use a specific custom keybind setup that I won't go into here other
than to say it has distinct physical advantages over traditional WASD
movement (and is more comfortable in long gaming sessions).  Those
advantages really only come into play in games with intense first
person combat, but I committed to the binding layout decades ago
during my more competitive gaming days, and I don't want to change it
now.

Fully customizable keybinds is just a feature every game should have,
it doesn't add substantially to development cost and it's just stupid
not to have it as a feature.

I also will refund a game if I'm just not drawn to it initially and
don't see myself playing it.

When the Steam refund feature came out, it basically became a feature
in itself that adds a 2-hour trial demo for every game, without any
stupid limitations. 

Which, the gaming industry needed desperately.
