I think people just prefer Steam to Epic or EA's store fronts. Whenever GoG gets brought up, the only major complaint is is that there's no official Linux launcher, even when there are Linux binaries for the games.
GOG's Windows launcher is bad so it's not really a big loss. Heroic Launcher is excellent and supports more than just GOG
It's not very good, but does the job. I mainly used the Mac version before jumping ship entirely. I was surprised that they made a Mac version, but no lINUX version. If you ever wanted to know true pain though, the Mac version of the Epic launch was true trash. Nothing worth playing on that anyway though since they discontinued Unreal Tournament.
Heroic launch has been pretty good for any of the modern games I've tried it it. Eventually, I want to get some of the old Star Wars games running though.
