The literature seems to agree with you on the effect of boiling vs steaming.[1] But that paper is from 2009, and the references are not much older. Older people's cooking habits were formed before this was well known, so I'm not so sure that "most people steam their veggies". I don't even own the equipment for steaming, and I had no idea about the benefits.
