But I still need the website to actually download the game my point is if GOG went down I would be in exactly the same situationm I have no way to get another copy of the game.
So it isn't any more convenient to me than Steam
You can back-up purchased games in any storage device for yourself offline, so you don't need to download it again after purchasing it, you fully own it.
And you'd have to go to the physical store if you damaged or lost your original disk back in the day. Your argument is a little weird and unlikely. Also if you are backing up your content you never have to "go back" for anything.
