The Launcher is required to use Jagex accounts (unless you want to use the third party Bolt launcher, which works fine) instead of old, insecure RuneScape accounts. The latter is also being fully discontinued for actually logging in to the game, so this is them properly supporting Linux again before that is enforced.
My account was the most secure, it wasn't registered to any email, it had a username login.
It was like I has two passwords, and no way for them to trick jagex into recovering my account.
