Nothing more disappointing to me than seeing a game I might enjoy... and then it's only available on PC on Epic Games store. Why can't it be available on Epic, Xbox game store and Steam? It's so annoying, like you have no choice but to use Epic... which I would literally do ANYTHING not to use.

Epic force refreshes pages including the library, that's not a good thing. Don't use shit I don't want you to use. You can stop it auto updating the launcher though, which is a thing steam doesn't seem to allow. In general, I don't want any of my launchers doing things without me telling it to.
I have Epic on my computer, tons of games, even a handful I bought. It's better than it was at launch, by a lot, but it isn't something you can just leave open and trust to do fuck all for the most part. GoG is good for this, I can forget it's open for days because it doesn't do anything until you want it to
I actually wanted Epic to succeed enough that I messaged their support about the library being force refreshed, it's apparently intended. If all I wanted was to suck up to a monopoly, why would I put any effort in to making it usable for me?
