It's not a launcher. It's a whole new UI, basically like SteamOS's Gamescope.

So it's a UI that launches games, what some would call a launcher, and when you launch games from other launchers, those launchers will launch from this launcher. Sounds like semantics to me.

It is semantics,but only so far as you are not understanding the difference.

It does not open another launcher, it launches the game directly, just like Steam does when you "add to library". It replaces the launcher.

Adding a game that requires another launcher in Steam opens that launcher when opening a game added using add to library.
