Maybe I'm too entrenched in my ways. But I'll take no game over having to deal with additional launchers or whatever else is required to game without using Steam.

GoG, Epic, Ubisoft, EA... Not interested.

You don't need to use GOG's launcher, they provide offline installer downloads.

Have a Lemmy gold: 🥇 !

This, to my mind, is the one biggest benefit of GoG. No separate launcher/front-end/DRM needed.

On the topic of launchers though, I'm a big fan of Heroic Launcher (for Linux at least). Can hook it into GoG, Epic, and Amazon.
