Perhaps they didn't realise the option was there?

I've been running Steam since shortly before it was released as "final"
in mid 2003.. I remember when I installed it and rebooted, Steam
started up.. I checked the options and found the tickbox to stop it
certainly never needed msconfig or regedit
Maybe somehow the option disappeared for some people either through a
bad update or a bug.. but I know it was always there on mine
