No... but GoG does not prevent the publisher from instituting their own launcher/DRM/malware scheme. See reviews at https://www.gog.com/en/game/horizon_zero_dawn_complete_editi... and https://www.gog.com/en/game/pathfinder_wrath_of_the_righteou...

I mean, they dont really have a way of doing that short of not allowing them to be on the Platform. If anything, letting the reviews stand as a warning is probably the right thing to do. The additional thing that they should do is probably make it top-level visible that there's Publisher DRM on-top of the game.
