Use Unity 2019 without Unity Hub

Cross-quote from [different topic]( Unity Hub v2.0.0-beta versions feedback thread page-3#post-4457146):

Reason for me wanting to install Unity without the hub and preferably through a store: I do not like that every larger software house (Autodesk, Adobe, Unity, several game publishers, NVidia with “geforce experience”) tries to push their own “Hub application” with their own update mechanism → it feels as if for every app I want to install I need another (redundant) app to maintain it.

Besides being redundant, they get in my way. More often than not these application manager apps have a subpar experience and vendors seem to reinvent the wheel.

I prefer a good platform integration. Both Windows and macOS provide a store with an update mechanism, and with options for providing beta test functionalities.

A project chooser (one of the Unity Hub usecases) could/should be part of the Unity editor itself.
For the installer part: for a newcomer to Unity it feels questionable why you would need to have more than two versions of Unity (a stable version and optionally a beta version).
