Okay I’ll play along. What other launchers are good? I personally use steam and gog galaxy so that already personally invalidates your argument to me. But I am curious what launchers you consider good that PC gamers have shit all over since you’re the one making the argument.
i’m not saying that other launchers are good, i’m saying that it doesn’t matter what other launchers exist, pc gamers will not use anything other than steam right now. you can make the most perfect launcher in existence, but it wouldn’t matter because pc gamers want to use steam.exe - it’s where their friends are, it’s where all their stuff is. they won’t use anything else by sheer fact that it’s not steam
But you don’t know that. You’re only saying that because that’s what you think will happen. Give me a genuinely good launcher and I’ll use it. The problem is that with how much time and resources that’s been dedicated to Steam, that’s next to impossible to even stand as equals to.
Not to mention that in cases like Epic, they don’t really care about actual user experience.
You won’t. You want to think you will, but you won’t. Every time epic games added one of these essential features, endless gamers would come out of the woodworks to announce that its not good enough, and they will literally boycott a game for having epic exclusivity.
I’m saying that even if a launcher is good, people will refuse to use that launcher. Pc gamers have extreme brand loyalty to steam.

And I’m once again asking where you’re pulling this from besides your ass?

Maybe you’re the exception, but not the rule
