FYI: Steam accounts were hacked (around 10th November)

After some thinking I've got your point that you are only defending the encryption method itself. There are also some flaws in the reasoning you provide to which I do not agree, but maybe this is for a another discussion.

To resume, my point is that although in a perfect scenario it is infeasible to break 256-bit encryption on a purely theoretical level, the specific case of stolen Steam account information has a high chance (e.g. bigger than 50%) of being revealed to third party, even though it *might* have used 256-bit encryption to secure its data.
