The fear seems to be that people will buy a game, download it and then get a refund from Steam. If the game doesn't have any DRM then they can keep the copy they downloaded from Steam after they get their money back.

I don't know why someone looking to pirate a game would go through the trouble of doing that when it would probably be even easier to just torrent the game.
