I can only see one reason Valve feels they're in the right for doing this: Even if you purchased the game, you are still capable of piracy by using a no-cd crack. If you install then use the no-cd, you could then pass the game off to someone else for another install. Perhaps this causes an issue with Steam?

Aside from that, I'm with you. If Steam gets hacked, and keys get stolen, I can only imagine how many people will get banned. At the very least, Steam is beginning to sound more like Valve has no responsibility toward their customers; as soon as you deviate from their path, you lose.

Bah! My brother's already bought it, but I don't have to...
