I have generally found Steam to be a good place to run and organize games. If you have a disk disaster, like I had, you just have to install Steam again and get logged in, then you can download and re-install anything you have purchased. And it makes a handy place to find everything. If you want to point it to an alternate location for your library, on another disk volume, it cooperates with that.

Now to discontinuing titles. I have not experienced that, not yet at least. But if one has copied the full program folder to any location, and runs it directly from there. Like one needs to do for games with mods such as Silent Hunter 3 or 4. I don't see any way Steam can track it down and delete it, or disable it. They can't search all my computer drives for software. Can they ?
