Always how MMORPGs have been, Steam is just a client to get the core files, the launcher is to update them as MMOs are constantly being updated and files modified. They would have to use another step in the process to get those constant updates to Steam and that creates more of a problem for them and causes more variables in the process to screw things up. They handle it directly from the source, no BS.

There still is a huge difference between simple launchers like gaijin, wargaming and lol (last time I played it like 6 years ago) use them, or whole new ad-platforms that try to shove their trash down your throat via shops and bloat up you RAM.
