Can I not have to log in to download a bloody driver without jumping through a thousand hoops? Can I choose not to use it at all? Probably not, probably still shit.
Well you have to know the model of your graphics card and your operating system. If you don't know those things, you will have to either figure it out or download the app so it can detect that information automatically.
As someone that works in tech and is in no way averse to updating my own drivers: this is why I just used the stupid app out of frustration. Even knowing my exact GPU it was still a hassle.
It's a phenomenon I seem to encounter more and more where previously inconsequential and simple to accomplish tasks have been obfuscated and enshittified just enough that its "easier" to do the shitty longer way they want to force you to use.
