yeah my correction message didnt come through i found that and i was just like why does steam even allow that

It is for formatting. Useful for profiles, guides and forums posts. Some minor customization like that helps a lot with those things.

Valve has never used such for messages. If Valve sends a message to you, it will be in https://steamcommunity.com/id/jacobbridgess/moderatormessages/ or a red banner at the top of the screen.

Only way to get the friends list back is to contact those who were in it.

It is stated in the "Formatting help" button when making a post. It has commonly been used in guides and forums posts. It is easy to learn, if someone takes a moment to push the button.

The issue is more likely the fear factor, that you may lose your account, that caused it to seem like a legit change. It is one of the tools they use to get people to do it, so they can take the items. That along with forcing them to act quickly, before they can calm down and think.

Regardless, you now know and are not likely to fall for it again. Others, sadly, didn't find out until after losing the items.
