The context here is

>> Can you play the same game on two devices from the same steam account without hiding offline?

> Steam doesn't enforce DRM. You can usually go to the game files and just click the launcher from the file manager and the game will run without steam getting involved.

Giving this answer to that question indicates that OP really did mean that you can simply bypass Steam's DRM enforcement (e.g. of playing a game on only one device at a time) by clicking on the launcher directly.

It's not "nonsensical", it's just wrong.
