I created a corresponding wishlist entry.
As far as I understand GOG's recent marketing decision, they would like to promote the use of GOG Galaxy and help new users to have the most comfortable experience concerning updates, cloud saves etc..
This led to quite the uproar, as this tactic is being perceived as an intrusive bloatware practice.
I think it is easier to promote the use of GOG Galaxy for new users if it would just be automatically added to everyone's accounts instead of bundling it with the offline installers.
Therefore, new users would immediately be aware of GOG Galaxy's existence and features and could make their own decision about the use of the client.
In addition, you could simply add a page within the installers and link to the account page.
What do you guys think?
