They basically have. Half Life has been Open Source for a while, Portal and Half Life 2 were both more-or-less open along with the Source SDK. Team Fortress 2 and CS:GO aren't technically open, but their source does exist in the wild and can even be built on modern machines.

That still leaves DOTA, Artifact and Half Life: Alyx without any proper source code, but the stuff people actually care about has mostly been freed.

They are in no way open source. In fact Valve has killed some projects.
