Not single-player ones. Online multi-player itself is kind of a DRM and there really is no way to make it otherwise. Not for a company of GOG size, anyway. And I'd argue that even if Steam made some forced open-server requirement, they would be abandoned fairly quickly.
As I said, not because the company is the best, but because you have access to the game files and can do whatever. I'm under no illusion that they are perfect, but IMO the no-DRM-installers are the single most consumer-friendly move any game store has done. And no one forces them to.
Incorrect.
They've had DRM in single player games on GOG. Hitman was a DRM game on GOG. Cyberpunk had a lot of DRM-licked items in game. They retroactively updated Witcher 3 with the same.
So long as the game is DRM free, yes.
Although that doesn't absolve them of lying about their intent to support Linux or their promise to open source their Galaxy client.
