It doesn’t stop being an issue just because you can brush it under the rug and ignore it.
The point is that the user shouldn’t have to work around these extra launchers. How about companies just stop pushing their own bloatware. If you buy a game through Steam, it should just require Steam. Same for GOG and all the others.
The way you downplay it sounds a lot like you’re trying to make it out as if it’s not an issue.
Games taking up resources doesn’t change anything I said either. Funnily enough though the same thing applies to games, users shouldn’t have to put up with games that take up unnecessary resources either. Just like they shouldn’t have to deal with bloatware launchers that take up unnecessary resources and throw more hoops to jump through.
Not really sure why you’re defending something that’s worse for you. What’s in it for you that you’d rather defend unnecessary launchers over not having to deal with them?
I currently have 8 stores installed and 1 (in words: one of them) runs a background task: Windows/XBox services. Come again.
You can take them off of the “launch on startup” list to make them not do that, but he said they “want” to, which is true.
Yes, just like Discord and many other apps that are useful but annoying: You take them off autostart once.
I don’t get why people would rather be angry all the time instead of just performing these five clicks once.

I don’t claim it’s not an issue and yes I can ignore it perfectly.
Compared to what amount of resources most modern games require, a launcher or store app needs a tiny fraction of that. The issue is overblown IMHO.

Good grief just read and reflect on the first sentence of my previous post.
