Yes it is.

So Valve _could_ retroactively add support for older operating systems
into their client. Doing so would constitute an an entirely new branch
of the browser, however, and half the point of using a third-party
browser is so you don't have to maintain it yourself, but can just
download the updated source to use in your project whenever you need
it. Although there is actually already a branch of Chromium for
older Windows versions that is reguarly updated called Supermium that
they could use. But I doubt that is as vigorously tested as the core
Chromium code.

But the Chrome thing also gives Valve excuse not to have to support
older operating systems anymore. You don't need to worry about
problems --and create workarounds-- for issues that only occur on
older operating systems. From all we've heard about Valve's internals,
they don't really have good structure for things like maintenance of
older projects; it's all about the 'latest and greatest' fad, and
infrastructure projects are lowest-totem-pole assignments. So ensuring
old code remains good code isn't a priority there. Nobody there wants
to ensure that Steam keeps running on old WinXP machines, so nobody
does it. And if a few customers get shafted, well, them's the breaks.

I do have a level of sympathy with Valve as at some point the do need to
say, look grandad get with the times. So looking at the Steam hardware
survey. Win 8 doesn't even get a mention (maybe those running it were to
embarrassed to say) and Win 7 comes in at 0.28%.
