Bethesda has updated its Steam migration article to confirm that players can begin transferring their libraries to Valve’s platform starting today. All users have to do is log into their account, navigate to the appropriate page, and hit the big teal button to transfer their games, expansions/DLC, and virtual wallets over. The only items that will not be moved are local game saves and configurations.
SUNSETTING THE BETHESDA.NET LAUNCHER & MIGRATING TO STEAM UPDATED APRIL 27, 2022 (Bethesda)
You are now able to transfer over your Bethesda.net game Library to your Steam account. Please follow the instructions on the Transfer Page to start your transfer. If at any point you run into issues with your transfer, we encourage you to reach out to Customer Support by visiting help.bethesda.net. We have also included several new entries to the FAQ below, so take a look to see if your question is already addressed.
You have plenty of time to plan and begin migrating your Bethesda.net library to your Steam account. The migration to Steam will include your game library and Wallet – meaning you will not lose anything from your Bethesda.net account. Many games will also have their saves migrated, with a few requiring some manual transfers. For games that require it, you will still use your Bethesda.net login to sign in to play. Your Bethesda.net account will not be lost and will still be accessible on our website and in-game, and we will continue supporting all Bethesda.net accounts with our future titles.
Bethesda.net users have until May 11 to transfer their game libraries to Steam. This is also the date on which Bethesda will officially cut ties with its launcher; users will no longer be able to play and access their games via the Bethesda.net Launcher after May 11. Unused Bethesda.net game codes will be honored on Steam.

Same. I never had an account there.
Almost everything I've bought since 2003 was through Steam, with a handful of exceptions I bought through GoG.
Everything that I bought in Steam that required me to create/sign into an account separate from Steam in that time was instantly refunded.
Because of this, I have no game accounts outside of Steam and GoG, and that is not going to change.
If I have to create an account anywhere else, I'm just not going to play the game, or if I feel the need to, I'll just "community demo" it until such time they come to their senses, and I will instantly buy it.
I only used the Bethesda launcher once, for the Quake Champions beta. Wasn't feeling the game at all, and the launcher was an absolute piece of trash. By far the worst launcher out of the entire bunch. I could not uninstall that sh1t fast enough. Felt like my PC had a disease.
I have friend who works for Bethesda (well he works for the parent company Zenimax), and I turned down cheap copies of Doom Eternal and Doom 64 from him because they were the versions for the Bethesda launcher. I also got a refund for a copy of Doom Eternal I bought on GMG because it was for the Bethesda launcher. Ended up getting the game on Steam as a gift. If that hadn't happened, I probably would have ended up with a community demo.
Successfully transferred all of my games. The whole one of them.
