You sound like you dont understand what linux, or windows for that matter, even is. As if you just hear the name a lot online, and think its like a form of digital diet.
Dude, I've been building computers since Windows 3.0 and I've run all types of OS. If I choose to buy a Mac tomorrow morning who am I to bitch that company X doesn't support OSX? Well it's the same if you install Linux and in the vast majority of cases the arguments against game launchers that aren't Steam that come from Linux users are either outdated stuff (no shopping cart, no friends list...) or pure entitlement like they were owed support for their OS. Well no, you knowingly make the choice to install an OS that is historically known not to have much support from gaming companies, that's on you and it doesn't justify being mad at them. As I said, I can't be mad at Valve if I can't play my Steam games on my laptop if I bought at Chromebook, well that's exactly the discourse of most Linux users that are mad at Epic or GOG.
The only one who comes across as mad here is you. Saying "if you don't support the system I use I am not going to give you money" is not mad, it is just common sense.
There's a difference between saying "I won't give you money" and "Your product is a piece of shit"
You sound insanely intitled, so its very funny having you throw that around
