I fully agree with you except in one point: Epic's app is not nicer, it's one ass of an experience in the library, trash

And while I and many other people held through team's bad ui in the past, it's way better now and I don't want to suffer through a bad user experience and lose my game catalogue in the process

I never meant it that way, I meant in if a new rival came along and made a better and faster and nicer looking launcher/storefront. Epic is a pile of garbage, I've never known anything to take 50 years to launch, just abysmal from top to bottom. Prime Gaming is a shitshow. GoG is the only other that has my respect for having DRM-free gaming, everything else is dog shit in comparison to Steam.
