Q) Why do I have to use a third party tool [Steam] to play a demo of a single player game that is free and does not require verification?
A) Apparantly this is what the player base wants.
Who is this player base, I'm not interested and as a result 2K Games will not recieve an income from me...
Q) Why do developers do this?

The best generic answer I can give, is that it preserves their DRM by keeping it in the same format as their final release. A lot of times drm is broken and cracks formed from the demo version of files provided.
Steam | Live
whatever bro
Because then you have an easy link between the distribution network for both the demo and the retail version! You can ask it in the Steam thread if you want but I'm pretty sure it'll go over like a shit balloon.
