How many enterprise admins are trying to get employees' Steam passwords? I think the "it used to support logging in without SSL" theory is more likely.
I wouldn't call it an impossibility, Steam accounts often carry a real, huge amount of value to their owners, going into the thousands of dollars of either games or trade items.
Even if it wasn't the main reason, it probably played a role. Some small time admins in education facilities would probably have an easy time with this stuff and wouldn't get caught doing it.
