There is no need to use their launcher, as there are open source alternatives. "legendary" is a tool that can download sand install games from epic, but it's command line only. Fortunately, there is also "heroic", which is a GUI for it and honestly a pretty good one. Can also handle GOG games.

They work well for me, haven't had epic's launcher installed in a very long time.
