But if Valve go belly-up, Steam dies, and you want to install and play Half-Life, you're stuffed.
My *new* understanding of the Telltale system is that you have to be online to purchase and download the software, but everything else, installation, playing, uninstallation, loading saved games, etc. is at your (offline) discretion.
...Right?

Well, Hold-em requires you to validate your copy once per install. If the company goes under they will provide a patch or alternate service that negates this requirement.
Simple really.
I assume Valve do the same. I honestly thought HL-2 requires you to be online when you run the damn thing so that you get the latest updates rammed down your throat.
