I'm amazed you're attempting to make "company supports platform desired by customers" sound like a bad thing.
You should make it less obvious you have axe to grind, because this statement shows that your opinion isn't really valid about PC gaming. I'd love to see you find a launcher that offers everything that Valve's "useless" launcher.
I'll wait.
Instead of waiting you could start to use software that doesn't require you to go through a third party proprietary launcher

L. O. L. When asked for a launcher that is feature comparable, you give me that?
I've played a few of the libre games linked there. I'll stick with steam, thanks but no thanks.
no problems, you can play these games anytime you want, you don't need a proprietary launcher to run these
Sure, but I can watch paint dry without needing a proprietary launcher too.
Free != Good, but I won't yuck someone else's yum just because I'm not a fan. I'm just not going to pretend it's a good alternative.
