In the past I've mailed Gabe about this, twice infact, and i never got a reply.
I basically put forward my thoughts on Steam's Payment Options.
Alot of people, dont want credit cards, and dont have a credit card. Who wants to pay interest on something like a game??! when you can just take money straight out of your account by switch/solo etc.
Also id say alot of gamers are aged between 16-18, these people are unable to get creditcards due to age, so surely alot of possible steam sales will be lost. All these people will have no choice but to goto local retailers, im quite surprised Valve dont consider this a problem.
Im 22, i dont have a credit card, i use Debit cards, Switch mainly ( a VERY common card in the UK ) I would buy through steam, if I had the option, but I dont.
I dont think it would be hard for valve to introduce some new payment options, it would be good for the community and with the increase in possible Steam Purchases, i belive good for Valve too.
I hope they listen.
