I guess that's true, though I don't think you have to launch games through the steam app, but they try to make it convenient to do so.
You can also right-click the game and 'Browse local files' and the game's regular executable is usually right there.
I'm currently playing the Oblivion remake, and launch that through a mod manager rather than Steam (though on Windows), even though the game was installed via Steam.
