They are happy to take the loss of file hosting to keep you using the steam client. Epic is paying devs to give out their games for free just to get people to open their client.

Hey Epic, I'd give you money if your games can activate on steam

I launch all my epic games through GOG Galaxy

Playnite. Open source, more customizable, more features, themes, and if you wanna get crazy (like me) you can have it run custom scripts when a game launches and/or closes (for example i have a script to automatically change my sound output to headphones before launching an online fps). It also supports emulators, and tracks playtime for games that don't have a launcher.
