Sure, and if you don't uninstall Galaxy, go through some hidden menus and download the installers then your GOG games will be gone regardless.

You don't need to ever interact with Galaxy to play your games, not even to download the offline installer. And the download option is not hidden on the website.

That's a failure to download the installers to begin with, not them being taken away from you after the fact.
