Some questions

Okay, assuming this is true (I actually read about it yesterday) I have some questions for valve.

1) Why in the HELL is credit card information stored on the same system as the hosting for steam?
2) Why is financial information for valve stored on that same system?
3) Why aren't user logins restricted by host, etc.

When i design secure payment systems, credit card information is NEVER kept on a system serving web pages of any sort. It is also heavily encrypted and no incoming connections are allowed, save a 'safe list' of hosts via SSH on a non standard port. Further more, i never store credit card information unless i absolutely need to.
