Thoughts about the aggregated library

Now that I have access to the feature and played around with it for a bit, I do honestly find very nice. Although, it does need some spit and polish.

Annoyances:

• Software bought from Steam show up on the library. The Xbox app doesn't filter the apps that I own from the Steam library, so it does bloat my library a bit. It's a bit of an issue with Epic's (I own another game dev tool there as well), but that's an issue with the Epic Store.
• Owned DLC for Xbox games show up on the library. As of Version 2507.1000.34.0, DLC just shows up on the library. That's most likely a regression bug.
• If you own a game on two stores and download these versions, they will appear as separate entities on the library.

Feature Requests:

• For launchers that have an integration with the app: Please allow us to manage the library without needing Game Pass. This would very nice for people like me that want a nice way to manage games across stores and have a unified library. And since launches like the EA app already interact with it, it would be nice to have access to games that I already own there.
• Seeing some info for the games in the game's hub. I do understand that, at least with the launchers that don't have an extension, it can't exactly populate info on there, but it would be nice if I could see time played and the screenshots that I got via Game Bar (might need some heuristics, tho. The Game Bar may detect a different name than the Xbox app. For example: Asterix and Obelix XXL Romastered (Steam) just shows its name as XXL1 on Game Bar).
