If it's needed, i don't buy it sadly...

Same reason why you would uninstall them which is Bloatware that you don’t intend to use nor want it installed

Sure, but doesn't the EOS [Sservice] still run i n the background constantly, It's separate from the launcher.

You don't need the launcher but EOS is required. Why? Spyware.

Speaking of spyware, are you using Windows by any chance?

I have a news for you.. :lunar2019piginablanket:

Yep, Peoples still believe that nothing is going on with it because it's one of the first OS to be widely use.
Any attempt to tell peoples about this result in getting call a conspiracy theorist.

If you think smashing human beings that are affected by a virus is fun, you are probably a very sick person.

You can twist anything to fit your narrative.

Not wanting more launchers and spyware has a simple reason - people just don't want to share their data with every corporation.

We had this discussion a million times, if you want your whole PC scanned by every program you use and have that data used for marketing etc., be my guest and continue on this journey.

Sure, Windows is collecting and sending data by default and Microsoft actually had some trouble for several reasons already.
It's possible to limit the data collecting though.

But especially with a game it's completely unnecessary to install more spyware that's not mandatory.

It doesn't constantly run in the background.
