Yes they are, they are puzzle games.

Battle.net still exists, some modern blizzshit games are exclusive to it.
Bethesda.net shut down and let you migrate any games on it to Steam.
Rockstar Launcher exists, but mostly as an annoying middle-man that pops up when you launch Rockstar games on Steam/Epic.
GOG Galaxy is still around, but not needed to download GOG games.
Origin is now the EA app, serves basically the same function as the Rockstar launcher but for EA games.
The Xbox store exists, but doesn't see much use outside of Minecraft and Game Pass.
Uplay is dead and buried.
Epic is still around, though it doesn't offer much outside of Fortnite and Rocket League since it went F2P.

Basically you're absolutely fine with just Steam nowadays.

Most of this shit still exists. Steam launches the Rockstar launcher, steam launches origin (maybe), epic games still exists, etc. Only one I don't recognize is twitch

I only have Steam and a couple GoG games installed (not with GoG Galaxy).
The rest are all standalone pirated games.

All you need is steam and sometimes gog for certain games (HoMM3 and swat 4 for example).

Why would I ever buy from GOG when pirates get the same experience for free?
Steam's platform features add value to every purchase (Which is why everyone buys from GOG and not EGS), if you don't care about platform features, then pirate.

No.

Because my 2019 was:
