It's possible to easily do this in other non-Windows OSes. Most desktop environments in Linux will let menus (or icons themselves) directly execute commands without relying on scripts. So, in something like KDE, I can make an icon in Kickoff that will launch Dolphin with a specific game file, and all I have to do is click on the icon to go. If you can deal with having batch files on Windows, you can make a standard Windows shortcut to the batch file and then change the shortcut's icon.
The idea behind your launcher.exe is actually pretty niche. A combination of the GUI or CLI usually addresses the bulk of Dolphin usage cases. Not a dev, nor can I speak for them, but I don't think something like that is on their radar.
Having a way to just simply launch the game once it's been configured prior makes ease of use so much better and more straightforward. And it certainly helps sell the point more that you are just playing a game instead of having to jump through hoops.
