More comptetion wouldn't just benefit consumers, it would benefit devs. A dev could shop their game around go with a store front that suits their needs better.
If I'm going to need to install several different clients/launcher on my computer just to keep up with where games get published, I'll just resort to piracy.
Being forced to install some shitty client to run a specific game has been a deal breaker for me in the past. And there is no guarantee that other "competing" platforms will bother making Linux versions of their clients.
