To solve your problem with Epic games, all you need to do is to find the installation directory of the said game, create a shortcut for it, and voila! A DRM free game!

Remember, do not use Epic's own game shortcuts that the client created for you, since the shortcut path has the Epic client's COM object bound to it.

As a note, this also works for games that's installed from GoG galaxy that requires the client to be up before the game runs.

Huh? That solves exactly none of the issues I have (which are all client UI/UX things).
I think the parent means you "solve" it by just avoiding it altogether :)
But at least partially that makes it worse. Instead of right click -> store page, I now have to actually google the name to find out what it is :D
