Sadly, that’s a reality of everything right now, though I suspect it still wouldn’t be cheap even without the AIpocolypse going on. We’re a far spit away from the days of cheap GPUs like the GT710-30 that were basically glorified HDMI adaptors.

When you buy from GOG, you get an installer executable, instead of some DRM-infected mess. A lot of people prefer the ease-of-use of Steam’s launcher having your library in one place and only a couple of clicks being necessary to install a game, have play data (achievements, play time and such), things like that. Galaxy is GOG’s attempt to bridge that gap, but also isn’t necessary to install or launch games, unlike most things (not all, but most) on Steam.

I’d put it firmly in the “better than onboard, but not good enough for discreet” territory. I can see the 8gig version having some usability, but it’s certainly not going to be running anything triple ehh from the last decade.

No doubt the same shareholders who’ve ‘diversified’ and have some stake in componentry being prohibitively expensive too.

I think basically everything Sony’s simultaneously doing and not doing right now is inexplicable.
