Same as when Valve got hacked, people who it affects don't really give a shit unless it means they are stopped from playing online.

...but at least Sony was good enough to actually take the backlash and shut it down until fixed, Valve and others just kept going.

You might not be familiar with PC gaming, but Valve has a thing called Steam Guard.  

Is this just an idea rather than something actually used, because I've logged my steam account onto different systems and never had any issues.

No. It's a real thing.  If you enable it, the only way to log into multiple PC's is to get a steam guard code through your email.  When it got introduced everyone got asked if they wanted to put it on, and i'm pretty sure new steam accounts either default yes or ask.

Click on Settings, then Manage Steam Guard security.

You can even deauthorize any computer that isn't your own at will in case you activate steam at a friends computer or a work computer or something.
