Because you have more than one. ????
If you need to launch an application then you create a launcher. That
is a total of *once*. And this is not an end-user activity. Second
step, since you are a developer, is to file a bug with the application's
maintainers to include an XDG .desktop file in the package; attach the
one you created to the bug report.
Well, what about this app?
https://minecraft.net/download
If it does not package a XDG .desktop file - there is a bug. I don't
much care which application it is; that doesn't change the argument.
"open a website"? That is what browser's are for.
IIRC, Design-suite spin of Fedora 17 has a built-in launcher that
opens Inkscape tutorial web page.
But how can I create one for my favorite GIMP tutorial?
Are you distributing software? End users have a way to do this -
bookmarks. If you want to package and design - you are a developer.
And here is how web launchers work -

This has nothing to do with a desktop environment. You have Yast, GNOME
System Monitor, and "Details" under control panel. Probably there are
other applications as well. But System Adminsitration is always going
to be a Command LIne thing; that is my Microsoft created PowerShell.
Really?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_Manager
"Device Manager was introduced with Windows 95 and later added to Windows 2000."
Yeah, and that isn't a real systems administation tool; otherwise they
wouldn't have invented PowerShell [which is a really impressive tool
BTW].
BTW, Yast is not a GNOME thing AFAIK; it is only used in SUSE related distros.
GNOME System Monitor and "Details" under control panel cannot provide
any *detailed* hardware information.
"it is only used in SUSE related distros" is not true. Yast is a
project of its own. And I'd assume every decent distribution packages
something for that purpose; if it doesn't that has nothing to do with
GNOME.
[Aside: "Ubuntu, a LINUX distribution for people who like to complain
about how LINUX is broken, because Ubuntu breaks everything."]
Put it in another way, can you show me a screenshot of how you check
the information of your WiFi chip without a Terminal?
Sure, but the list doesn't allow attachments.
