Why not? (Genuine question, maybe I can learn something about it I didn’t know)

Just an extra piece of software of no real benefit to me. I'm only interested in single-player offline games, and I prefer to organize what I have using a directory structure rather than someone else's GUI. I try to avoid installing anything I don't have any use for to avoid unnecessary disk bloat and just in case it drags along some daemon with a nasty security bug. If you actually want the features Galaxy offers, I'm not aware of anything evil about it.
