It’s the only way they can ensure it works, I suppose. They might need to control specific cookies and reported supposed clients depending on plugins, and so a packaged in-app browser for the login is easiest. Playnite does the same thing.
Comment on What's up with Epic Games?

This is to be expected and don’t let it turn you off using Galaxy. Once set up you can automatically launch (and close) the game and client from here without seeing the other apps.
It does work with Steam, Ubisoft etc but the login will expire every week and need reconnecting.

Oh yeah. No, absolutely not… I logged in…
I installed one game, uninstalled another.
Waiting to get time to play using GoG soon.
Also, do we know if there’s any integration with services like IGDB?
