Why would they be? They sell games, and have a storefront and launcher.
Because I can download and save installers for GOG games and install them without needing to connect to GOG at all. It's more akin to buying physical media than it is to Steam or other storefronts.
You still need your gog account to download games though. And they have multiplayer games anyways.
It's far better that it applies to everyone.
You dont need an account to launch the game, so you own it.
Same with steam. You don't need steam to play most of the games you buy.
