Why can't game developers just handle sales transaction and installer downloads on their own websites and implement a key system in order to ensure downloads are legit instead of relying on steam or epic?

They can but it costs them to do it and so steams 30% cut is well earned for doing all that hard work.

Some do (uPlay, Origin) and people don't like it. The general consumer wants everything in one place.

No, I don't want launchers. I want the games on their own. Just sell me the fucking game on your website and I will buy it, but if you expect me to download your launcher, when I can just pirate the game and get an objectively better version of it, I have no reason to pay.
