No worries, Origin will be replaced soon... by the even more awful EA Desktop Client.

I don't know about that. The fact that they released a bunch of EA games on Steam (most notably recent Battlefield games) made me think they're about to sunset Origin. But that was a couple years ago at this point so who knows

They just recently updated it. (https://www.ea.com/ea-app-beta)

Doubt they'll drop it, but who knows.

Origin is a pile ... how could the replacement possibly be worse?!
