Piracy
Account? What is account? Can you eat account? Is account an instrument?
Even though I agree that the piracy-route is easier and more comfortable, it's good that account deletion isn't as straightforward as a single button on the account page, without further verification. I certainly wouldn't like to lose my Steam library just because my Steam account details were leaked once. A second and maybe even third separate step being necessary is smart for anything that involves a substantial amount of money.
