That's the fun part. --no-preserve-root did exist at the time (it's been around since at least 2003), but it only works if you pass / verbatim, as in rm -rf /. In this case, however, steam.sh effectively invoked rm -rf /*. Since /* expands to /bin /boot /dev /etc /home ..., but doesn't include the root directory itself, rm considers that fine and happily proceeds.
