Yes, that's the selling point, but I also value automatic updates and cloud saves most of the time.

Do you really want auto-updates for your games, or actually just want updates-on-demand?
Personally I dislike Steams auto updates, because I want decide when a game should be updated. I might have mods installed, only mobile internet or a myriad other reasons not to be forced to download and apply an update right at that moment and instead just play the old version.

I want auto updates for my games so close to "always" that you can only tell it's not 100% if you squint a bit. I use Syncthing in other contexts, like syncing emulator saves to and from desktop and Steam Deck, and it's not quite as easy as Steam cloud saves.

Why so? I use SyncThing and I have no issues with it what so ever.

You can use the Heroic Games Launcher, which runs GOG games through Proton and integrates with GOG cloud saves.
Buying games on GOG through their launcher also gives them a cut of the money!

Do you have a source on Heroic getting a cut? I can't find it in their FAQ.
