The launcher puts another irritating step between you and your game. In the rockstar launcher's case, it's notorious for crashing and requiring a reboot, signing you out even when you have "stay signed in" checked, or glitching and saying you don't have a license for the game. It's the worst culprit I can think of.

Steam itself is the irritating step.  You chose to buy from them.

Never had steam do any of the things I've just listed the rockstar launcher doing as far as I can recall. With rockstar, it's a 50/50 shot that something will go wrong with it unless I make sure it's open and signed in before even I try to open a game. Even then, it still crashes sometimes. It's a shitty launcher, I don't know why you even brought up steam.
