Meanwhile Steam can just shutdown one day and, since the client often refuses to work offline (at least for me), users would be screwed. Of course, it would be stupid and I doubt it'll ever happen, but it's possible and there would be nothing to be done about it.

This is what's important. While we've seen some less critical items disappear and few people affected so far, it's the fact it CAN happen. When it does, it's too late to do anything. Digital isn't cheap enough to give away my power to choose when and where I'll play. Steam proved with their very first game that they can withhold something I paid for and they should be punished for it. But for the same reason Madden and CoD still sell there are just too many incompetent people handing over their money. This needs to change.
