This is very wrong. They've been doing this with Warzone (which is free-to-play) for a while. If you try to launch MW2 from the launcher when you don't own it it just takes you to a page to buy it. There's no way they would lock you out of a game you own just because you don't own another game in the launcher. Not defending the practice though still completely ridiculous you have to launch the MW2 launcher first.

Oh. Guess first reading the article at 4am my time DID impair reading comprehension somewhat! My bad 😄

Still a bizarre way to to it, though
