It's not the same quality. It's a rebranding and slight rework of existing EA services.

Which are terrible, terrible things.
EA is pushing it pretty hard though. EA games being removed from Steam (even if Valve did it because of breach of contract, EA's lawyers will have expected it and accepted it), Knights of the Old Republic and Battlefield 3 being exclusively on origin, Bioware's last few games requiring registration to BIoware's community site (which is being folded into Origin, if I'm not mistaken). Etc.
EA's thrown down the gauntlet. They want out from under Steam's middleman fees.

Neat. Origin isn't playing nice with Steam, so it's instantly become unlikable to me.

EA says Valve were the ones that removed Crysis 2 from Steam.

It sounds like Origin's contract intentionally violates Steam's, because EA wants to be that way.
