Often the game is the only game the launcher can launch. There must be business reasons it makes sense but experience wise it's a pointless friction.

And recently, again, any game that bundles the EA app was a pain in the butt to get running, you had to switch back to very old proton versions and disable dxvk and other shenanigans for the EA installer to work. Once it installed properly you could switch everything back to default, but startup time is still abysmal.
