Edit: Yo, I'm not saying this is gonna happen. I just want to say that Windew's UX sucks ass.

You can do that now if your games are on Steam.

But what about LEAGUE!? And Blitz, I can’t be fucked to pick my own runes.

That's the problem, IF your games are on Steam.

If they're not, then it's usually pretty easy to add them to steam as a non steam game, or sometimes you can use Lutris.

Then you have a launcher launching a launcher to launch a game, when that happens on Windows people are pissed, when that happens on Linux people act like there's nothing wrong with that experience.

You can run games with Lutris, which allows you to create shortcuts for games so that they would be launched through Lutris without invoking a UI

So from a user's perspective, the game just opens up as normal without any launchers or interfaces in between, like if you ran an .exe

Besides, plenty of non-Steam games can be run simply through Wine, then you literally double-click a game .exe and there you go.
