The whole thing is becoming a big pain in the $%%

I know, the anti-sucurom people go bananas, but I've never used my DVD player in this computer to do anything except for to install two games. I don't download and burn cds or dvds or anything of the sort. If I did, I'm sure I'd be as bananas about it as y'all are...in fact, maybe moreso.
A lot of people use their DVD players to burn family photos on to DVDs so that they're not taking up room on their computer's HD or their camera's memory card. It's not always about the piracy.

you know, I downloaded Riverview and installed it...and near as I can tell down to the sims and the stores it's the same. The only difference is topographical details...so if you want another neighborhood just clone sunset valley if you're loathe to deal with the download manager.
No? The sims are all different. There's also several new buy mode objects and new rabbit holes that come with it. It's a lot better than Sunset Valley in my opinion.

Makes you wonder why they're actually giving it away for free.

Yes, I noticed that. The hospital, town hall, etc. all seem to be the same as in SV (with slightly different landscaping). In fact, apart from the island, which is nice, SV is a superior hood (I'm very fond of the park/central square). I think the inability to build a real custom hood is one of the main annoyances I have with TS3.
IIRC, the Launcher does not carry securom. Securom does not seem to be a major them in the "Why you should hate the launcher" thread (although there are other reasons to hate it). The launcher also seems to have managed to install Riverview without glitches in my game, which I gather is something of a surprise. That said, I am not making a habit of using it and will be getting the multi-installer. The real bother with TS3, in my view, is the Download Manager, which does sit in startup, constantly phones home, installs useless registry entries that fry your system performance, etc.

Where is this multi-installer of which you speak?
