Why should it matter which launcher I use?

This is answered in the OP article itself:

Why don't some publishers do this? The reasoning is pretty simple really: Valve take a cut of all sales on Steam, including DLC and micro-transactions. So if you purchased directly before, publishers will want to keep you there so any extras you purchase don't get a cut eaten by Valve.
