Is installing another store really so burdensome? It costs nothing but a few minutes of time. GOG Galaxy can even help consolidate them.

Until epic supports proton, yes. It requires a whole new OS.

But I was also thinking in terms of actual platforms like "Xbox only for N months"

Yet another US service to slurp my data and give it to the NSA.

Sadly the only alternative is to buy used, disc copies.

Digital collections certainly have privacy tradeoffs. Though I'm quite happy with many of the upsides: cross-play, automatic cloud save, (sometimes) cross-save, no disc swapping, fewer things to clutter my living space.
