It's more about the tools they use to compile modern programs and the fact of MS no longer support those OS anymore.
Visual Studio 2010 for instance isn't compatible with Windows 2000. If you want to support 2000 with it it you have to do more work to support it....and since MS doesn't support Windows 2000 anymore then other companies see no point in supporting 2000 either. (Obviously not all companies have the same requirements).
As far as clients equivalent to Steam....no but there are Steam emulators and GUI's that perform much of the same functionality as Steam (and more).
I've made almost all of my Steam games standalone using emulators and cracks so I don't have to worry when Steam no longer works. 😀
