Nice. The adoption of Glorious Egroll's UMU project is a good thing for all.
That's what I love about open source. Things build on other things iteratively, from Wine to DXVK to gamemode to Proton to UMU to various launchers like Zoom, Lutris, Heroic, minigalaxy.
Sure things can be deprecated and out of maintenance in both open and closed source systems, but with proprietary code being dropped your only option is reverse engineering it which is that much more of a barrier.

Exactly.
Not to mention that the owner of this site, gamingonlinux, was a mod on the !linux_gaming@lemmy.ml community until they were caught abusing their moderator powers. Then they deleted their account and complained on mastodon that it's stupid design that mod logs are public. [Screenshot]
I created an account there an eternity ago when I first heard about them to reserve my username just in case but I will never consider a platform that cannot package their launcher/tool/software correctly and instead shoves a complex curl-to-bash script embedding binary data and a whole lot of other anti-pattern up my throat that is the least trustworthy and safest method of distributing your software.
Very cool
