Despite the fact this looks like an internal popup, this type of ad should legally be classified as adware and distributing software with this crap should be legally classified as malware distribution.
I remember chatting with someone who worked at Epic around the time the Epic Launcher started popping up sales ads. They asked me what I thought of the ads, and I was honest with them: I said at first I thought it was malware and I had a virus. And I don't like it at all. They were surprised to hear that response.
Forget 3rd party launchers, more than once I have been fooled by the windows operating system. When they added that pride flag search bar and when they added popups about chrome "using too much battery" or whatever the fuck, animated ads in the start menu, all sorts of shit. Tactics that would easily be classified as malware just a few years ago.
If you use Windows, at least use a Classic Shell overlay of some kind. Eww, default Windows.
