I guess they're giving up on convincing people to download their launcher.

Battle.net actually launched in 1996, though the client as it existed back then would hardly be recognizable as a launcher/storefront today. The modern client launched in 2009.

Battle.net is dead and gone. The launcher has nothing to do with battle.net and everything to do with attempting to harvest as much data as possible, bonus if you run it in the background without playing any of their games.

I was wondering why it sucked so much ass. This explains it

Yeah I just mean the launcher application. I dunno, I had it way before Steam was even on my radar though.
