Personally I can see a few reason why people would get it on Steam rather than a CD. You can download your games on any PC, direct access (as you said), no need to protect your CD/DVD from breaking, and if your CD/DVD drive stuffs up (like mine is) then you're also OK. I also think that DRM is nonexistent. Not to mention achievements, which add replayability.
Maybe all these points aren't good enough to pay and extra £10, but they are some valid reasons, and some people would pay more for them. I'm just saying that it's not completely illogical.
