Steam could really use a proper competitor to make them less lazy and complacent, but Epic isn't it. The client is functionally inferior in every possible way (it's been over a year and there's still no shopping cart, because apparently Epic hasn't shopped online since online shopping became a thing), their sale practices are extremely questionable (at least they were last I heard, with publishers not actually getting a say in whether or not their games were discounted, which is basically Walmart's business strategy and not something I want being normalized in the games industry), and their efforts to "compete" by throwing Fortnite money around to buy exclusivity deals aren't something I want to reward. I've taken advantage of their free games, and even actually played a couple of them (I'm actually working my way through Subnautica right now, which was one of the first ones they gave away), but I don't see myself spending any money there any time soon, especially where most of their high-profile exclusive purchases are now making their way onto Steam.

I refused all of Epic's bribes because I just want one launcher. Steam is fine with me forever.

You might want to look into GOG Galaxy. It lets you integrate multiple other libraries into a single client so you don't have to manually open multiple different launchers. It'll still open them for installation purposes, and run them in the background as needed, but it is definitely more convenient than having to manage multiple clients and libraries myself.
