I find the Steam client does it's job of launching games particularly well. It even makes it pretty straightforward to buy them, and keeps them up to date in the background. I have noticed that they don't screw with the UI every 2 months (Spotify et al.) and stick with what works. That seems to be a negative these days though.

The steam client has no such feature: it only updates games IN THE FOREGROUND. There's no service or deamon that does anything in the background.
