Valve defined an active user as having logged in in the last 3 months.  That has no relation to their ability to download 40 gig games which I'm sure many of them can't do. 

Hence why physical media is still required for these parts of the world.

Actually, no. Valve has been very clear on this. To be counted as an active account you would have needed to have signed into Steam and own games within the last three months of Valve taking the count. It absolutely has a relation to those games, because the highest selling games on Steam are AAA games with large file sizes.
