I don't think people get what I'm saying.

On Steam you can back up game files only in the tiny fraction of games that ship with no DRM. Cases where you have to break DRM to make a backup are not "making a backup". If that's your standard you may as well just download a cracked copy later.

On GOG you specifically get an option to download a stand-alone installer for every game in the service.

Not the same.
