Battlefield Hardline via Steam does not open with EA Desktop

Product: EA Desktop
Platform:PC
Error Report ID (learn how to create an Error Report ID in the sticky post)
Which client functionality are you experiencing this bug with? Launch Game
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 03.10.20
Summarize your bug I have Battlefield Hardline from Steam. If I launch Hardline, EA Desktop will launch in lieu of Origin and the game (via Battlelog) will still ask me to open Origin. When I try to open Origin, it will ask me to shut down the "Beta" version, which in this case is EA Desktop. Once I exit out of EA Desktop and open Origin, then I can play Battlefield Hardline. I cannot launch Hardline without Origin, and EA Desktop only prevents it from opening (though, I am able to open EA Desktop if Origin open prior to EA Desktop).
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Make sure EA Desktop and Origin are not open or running at all. Open Hardline purchased from Steam.

What do you expect to see? Hardline from Steam (or any Steam-purchased game) should work directly with EA Desktop, and completely without Origin.

See summary above.
