I guess they're giving up on convincing people to download their launcher.

I think you can choose your library as the startscreen when steam opens.

But I think you are right that the game should open without starting steam. I would guess it has something to do with DRM? because with GOG you can just download the game and start it from desktop without launcher.

Yes, your library can be the start screen when it opens. But first you must see the other window (that I always close without reading) telling you about today's "special deal" or some game you might like to buy.
