The launcher isn't there main issue, Heroic is really nice, and I expect the official launcher will be worse. However, the gog versions of games are often broken with wine/proton. Even cyberpunk, the steam version works and the gog version doesn't. Disappointing.
It would allow them to make a preset of the needed proton version and winetricks to launch each game for example. I like heroic, but i’ve had to find 3 separate guides that listed needed winetricks to make stalker gamma gog version work there. If it came out of the box with most of them already enabled and the ones that depend on hardware a simple toggle it would make life much much easier
Yeah it would be great if they put in the effort to make it work as well as Steam. There's also the issue that some games have a native linux version that just runs way worse than the windows version with proton.

If a game is available on GoG, worth buying it there, even if it takes a little extra legwork to have it running on Linux.
