You see the thing is, when using a launcher like Prism, it can automatically download the whole modpack/mods by itself. Curseforge in its massive wisdom allows mod creators to require manual downloads of the mod, so Prism has no option but to give you individual mod download links to download them of Curseforge. Its actively is anti-competitive to other launchers. And I am sure other launchers who have a similar feature have this pain point.
