It's kind of the bare minimum. Nor is it particularly challenging if a small indie dev like those behind deep rock galactic can do the same.
But the difference is that blizzard moved from bnet to steam and companies like Ubisoft/ea tend to make steam a launcher launcher. DRG devs (rock and stone!) Build up from nothing with steam so it's easier to convince them to do it. They didn't start with a launcher so making one doesn't make sense.
