The HTTP interface probably won't break but it is still a non-zero chance.
"Safe" interfaces isn't a guarantee that everything will continue to work. It only means that it won't crash. Valve can still deprecate old interfaces so that they don't work. I have personally experienced this problem.
Even Kyles includes a steamclient download and tells people to install it.

I don't know about everyone else, but I would prefer not to replace a file that can get clobbered by an update or worry about the game using a new interface not included in Kyles' version.
