So they make steerers out of carbon and aluminium, Which are both relitavley soft materials. Yet steel steerers are still as hard as nails. Why?
cheap and strong.
Because nails are usually made out of steel?
wwaswas has it.

The steel in question is not that much harder.
CrMo steel's pretty hard, compared to aluminium or carbon, even with the simple "does it take ages to cut with hack saw" test can tell theres a difference!
Ok its not tool grade, but then its much less brittle.
Because softness doesnt have much to do with strength in this application
Alu steeres are softer but MUCH thicker to maintain adequate strength
