As much as I like GoG, it doesn’t really solve any problems that Steam has that I can think of. In fact, in several ways it seems like they’ve gone backwards in the last several years, imo (as a launcher/storefront alternative)
My understanding is that GoG does some work to make sure that old games they sell will work on new PCs. I have at least one game that is bugged on Steam, but works fine from GoG.
When I bought Vampire the Masquerade from GoG it came pre-bundled with the primary community bugfix patch, I thought that was pretty neat. It didn’t come baked in, so they still give you the base version of the game, but I pretty much just checked a box on install and it added it on.
People who don’t like Steam already have GoG. To most people Epic Games is the fortnite launcher, and fortnite is in rapid decline:

DRM-free games is already a big one.
