It’s not so strange, Windows has good relations with Steam and sure whitelisted it in the Firewall. Windows is the largest gaming platform and it would not be very desirable if it could not include the Steam client, because the Firewall blocks it, the largest game store on the Internet.
Well you can easy add webs to the Firewall, if you want, Yes, it’s your PC and your Firewall, but when you say that Steam can access means you wanted to install the client, your choice. Do you prefer that the Firewall block it, when you want to install it? Steam has own strong security measures in the Web, the Client and all games in it’s catalogue, with 2FA when you want to access, it’s not a security risk, Try with an torrent download from anywhere and see what your Firewall says, you probably won’t even be able to get past the first percent of the download.
