Developers/publishers can remove their games from the virtual store shelves.

But I doubt that they are allowed to remove sold licenses from Steam libraries (without refunding the money to the customers).

They can be revoked at any time for any reason. Obviously, if that started to happen en masse people would lose faith in the entire system of digital videogame content distribution, hence it seldom is applied, but there are examples.

Why are you so sure about that? They have a contract with Valve for putting games on Steam, there are a lot of rules.

So Sony CAN'T delete their games out of the Steam libraries of customers. Only Valve can... but why should they?

Sony can do that shit on its own platform (f.e. the removal of P.T.), but not on other platforms.

Additional to that, if Sony just makes their games unplayable with a "patch", Valve has the right to fully refund the customers for that (and get the money back from Sony).
