True, but my point is that having to use third-party tools just to access games you bought without downloading a desktop client isn't as consumer-friendly as the way GOG offers offline installers directly for every game.

    In other words, contrarianism for the sake of contrarianism. You had to download that DRM-free installer somehow, yes? I'm betting you used a web browser to do that. I.e. a third-party tool used to access the games you bought.
