Even within its niche gog Galaxy still lacks a lot of features steam has, like communities, mod support, Linux support, and a few others.
Honestly, I'd be home with that if they had Linux support. They don't, so I mostly buy from Steam. Apparently Heroic now gets a kickback (probably small) from GOG for sales, but that's a pretty lazy "Linux support" if you ask me.
I literally didn't make a Steam account until they had a Linux client, and now I've spend a ton of money there. It's not hard to get my money, you just need to not be outright hostile to me. That's why I have never and probably will never buy from Epic.
I tried heroic on my steam deck and it's okay but I wouldn't use it over Steam's UI which says a lot.
Yup, I install through Heroic but launch through Steam on my Steam Deck, for controller support alone, it's not worth going through Heroic directly. On desktop, I'll play directly through Heroic though.
The cost of freedom is still far more valuable than that to some, and that's its niche.
