Have you guys never even tried any PC storefront that isn’t Steam? And if so, why are you arguing about easily verifable facts? Go check it out, see if it’s for you.
GOG does have a launcher, it’s called GOG Galaxy. It’s… fine to good, depending on what you want to do with it. That will download, install and patch games for you, just like Steam does.
The launcher is optional, though. If you don’t want to use it, you can download installer files from the GOG site or from the launcher itself. Those are yours to store as backups. This also allows you to snapshot earlier patches and do other goo preservation stuff if that’s your thing. Steam has none of those features.
You can either take my word for it or go check it out, but seriously, I’m not lying to you. Why is this an argument every time? Why are there fanboys for digital distribution services? None of this makes sense.

I am losing my mind.
