You mean one with a business model where the user isn't the product? I happily paid for a (fairly expensive) lifetime license of Niagara, hoping that I will never read an "after the acquisition, all developers were fired and all ad frameworks were added" article about it.

Nova was a launcher with a business model, too.

FOSS launchers are more resistant. I recommend KISS.
