You are exactly correct with Valve locking out (at least for the moment) 3rd party accessibility, although I believe that this is temporary and will open up eventually.
Valves strength was developed by leveraging the 'hacker' community in developing game mods to enhance the online experience. Once the SDK is released, this will become a moot point. I am not one to believe that Valve is becoming another Microsoft. Every company has to develop and progress or die. Valve is doing just that, but there are growing pains. They are NOT creating enemies, but people are impatient and upset. If the game continues to progress in the direction it is and the SDK opens up Steam to the mod developers, then we will all see just how progressive the changes have become. It would be careless and stupid for Valve to lock out or restrict access. This is what made Valve successful to begin with. "Don't bite the hand that feeds you", as the old saying goes. Be patient. Everything will open up in time (although the sooner the better). (BTW, your English is surprisingly good, with some exceptions (LOL)!!!)
