It shows how many hours the user has played, which is a very effective mechanism for filtering reviews. It was suggested on HN that this could be used for the mobile app stores as well and my own experience is that reading a review and rating from someone who has provably put a lot of time into a game is invaluable.

In my opinion, Valve should be using statistics like time played and number of achievements to try and measure player engagement so they can at least get a rough idea of how popular a given game is (along with things like how long an average playthrough is, whether it has replay value...)
