>hard dependency on steam is a worse alternative
Steam runtime doesn't impose hard dependency on Steam, it's a free software that anyone can use without Steam, that's how umu-launcher
>they are often dependent even on specific compiler versions
Wtf are you talking about? What does the compiler have to do with compiled binary ready for shipping? You can run any executables without any compiler installed in the system. Compiler is only needed when you're compiling from the source and guess what it's a common problem on any system: project that was made in one version of visual studio might not compile in the future versions of it.
