Not really, and I’m guessing it’s part of their decision here since it could open them to possibilities they don’t like if they say that an account is an asset. It’s also probably fairly complicated, legally; they need to understand how estates are settled in every country they do business, open themselves up more to scammers, etc.
I doubt they’re going to enforce this if you were to give your credentials to someone else. They’re just not going to voluntarily provide the credentials for you.
I would say in one sense yes, because typically property being bequeathed follows different customs than property being sold for profit.
But the point in this case is that your Steam library is not even “property” to begin with, it is a contract that becomes invalid when one of the parties (the customer) dies.
Is this any different from selling an account, which I presume you’re not allowed to do?
