You're mistaken. These "significant" parts are not missing content, but update patches.
I've activated a few Steam games on my account and installed them from disc. Metro 2033 only downloaded a couple of MB because the game received some sort of free DLC update after the game was released. Rage received a texture update so I had to download a few extra GB. Unreal Tournament 3 received a HUGE update because it was upgraded with a new patch with tons and tons of new maps and skins a while after it was released.
Any game you buy on Steam is downloaded completely to your computer. The only stuff you don't get is DLC, depending on the game. Some games, like Magicka, include the files in your game but don't let you access it until you buy it, while others download additional files (from a few KB up to GBs worth) after purchasing the DLC.

PC games are the same. All it takes is some guy at a duplication factory with a USB key.
