I like having a local copy of the installer which doesn't require phoning servers.

That's what they mean. There are many games on Steam which after downloading from Steam, you can just copy and they don't need Steam to work. You can delete Steam and keep these games forever.

So I'd have to install some bloat, then my game, then remove the bloat?

If that's what you'd like to do, you do you.

It's the ideal option for sure.

But like I said, if someone has an account with these services anyway, might as well make the most out of it. I can download those games, archive them on a big ass drive somewhere, and never have to login somewhere to access them in the future.

(And then cry myself to sleep when that hard drive inevitably fails the very day I delete the account, because that's just my luck)
