That is the same on all OSs and platforms. This game was released before we had our launcher. You can disable them in your Steam Client though.

You don't need to do anything to activate them though.

Because I remember in 2019 after I had purchased the Game (when I had tried it out @ PDXCON2019), there definitely was a Launcher for it - which was a little "wobbly" in Linux, but it was present and worked more or less - even in Manjaro Linux.

This game never had a launcher of any sort. It always went from Steam straight into the game. I frankly have no idea what you are thinking of or remembering there!
