Having a client that’s actually integrated with your account, with the ability browse, purchase, and download games, is going to be a requirement to complete with Steam
I have a GOG library specifically because it’s not tied to a stupid Valve Epic Games Uplay Launcher. This is their competitive edge. Plus, all of what you mentioned can be done with GOG through any semi-modern web browser.
TBH the only reason I even want a launcher is that game achievements require it. AFAIK this is possible with other launchers like Heroic, but I never bothered setting it up for the GOG games I do own.

I’m sure many people want a launcher and as long as I can keep not using it I won’t care
But not using a launcher is the reason I have a gog library

Ah well imo achievements have been a monumentally bad thing for gaming and culture so I have to say I hope they disappear anyway
Can’t say that you’re wrong …
