This issue has been going on for months, every month or two I try to launch again and it never works. I did not encounter this issue with origin but we are no longer able to launch with origin.
EA App was saying that the game is not installed although it was installed via Steam. Was going to give up but then took a look in the registry...Corrected it and restarted the EA App. Afterwards it recognized that the game is installed via Steam and was able to launch the game (works also from the EA App).
So in such case check your registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BioWare\Mass Effect Legendary Edition
