What other value does the so called other launcher provide? Modding sdk? Community forum? Family sharing? Controller remap?

You can still do all of that stuff without owning the game via steam

Other than modding via workshop

Sure, but I specifically ask other launcher. If we are talking no launcher at all then it is a different discussion entirely. If we are talking about not having a launcher, yeah, that is understandable too. But then again, many games have their own launcher and they do not add any value other than for the sake of having one/promoting the publisher

Yeah specific single game launchers are pretty awful
