They can't buy stuff anyway since it asks you for the password when you check out. And what information would they steal that's going to be useful?

No it doesn't. If you have your card tied to your PSN account it doesn't ask you for anything when you buy something.

 

If you're going be spending any significant amount of money on digital content, two step verification is practically a must.

No, you can't if you turned on the "Require Password on checkout" feature, which, obviously, everyone has. So, again, you need the account password to be able to buy something. 

 

2-step is just there to make you feel safer when in reality it as effective as what's already there.
