I can see how you're trying to justify a bad mangling of an analogy.

If we follow your modification of your modification of the analogy, you want physical cases for your games, which has nothing to do with launchers at all.

Though it seems you don't want launchers at all, you want independent executable files, which isn't what a launcher is in this context.

you want independent executable files

Those are launchers, are you confusing launchers with libraries?
