Didn't Valve release a huge update to Half-Life in 2023 (i.e. 6 years after the linked comment was written)?

Yeah they obviously still have the code. I think the important point there is server for partners - there is some things that licensees wouldn't get (uncompiled middlewares I'm guessing - they don't need to modify Bink/Miles/Havok etc).
