This is as meaningful a discussion as hypothesing if banks or governments for some "odd reason" decide to call quits.
You mean like how Greece got bankrupt which lead to the banks prohibiting people from withdrawing money?
That's anything but an "odd reason".
For the same thing to happen to Valve, Valve too would have to become bankrupt as well. Now how likely is that going to happen?
Greece....an entire country went bankrupt. Italy, Portugal and Spain are getting there. Lehman Brothers went bankrupt. AIG would have gone bankrupt if not for the government bailout. Any one of those entities are hundreds if not thousands of times bigger and richer than Valve. And we're comparing a game developer to investment banks and insurance companies here.
At this point, anything is possible. It's also fair to say that a major part of the reason why those giants went bankrupt was because too many people one time thought the same way you do now.
Bigger, not financially more secure.
For instance, Valve is probably more secure than the United States at the moment. The latter is bundled with foreign debts, while Valve is basically printing money globally.
Using another example, Sony is certainly also bigger than Valve, but it's meeting failures in multiple product lines and had to put them down.
