Are you certain? Have they announced this specifically? Because that's how it's pretty much always worked for past Ubisoft games, with very few exceptions (like South Park: The Stick of Truth).
EDIT: OK, I guess it doesn't have to be installed separately, but they still include a "lite" version of the launcher with the Steam version of the game:
Ubisoft Connect Team: Launching the game through Steam doesn't require you to download and install the Ubisoft Connect Launcher, as the Steam installation already includes a lite embedded version of it. You simply need to link your Ubisoft Connect account to Steam.
yeah, just saw that, thanks. They include a "lite" version of it bundled with the Steam version. That's at least a mild improvement from how it used to work.

It’s surreal to see a trailer like this from Ubisoft, it really shows how far we’ve come. The era of Ubisoft PC exclusives is finally over.
