I don't think anyone who daily drives Linux understands how annoying getting virtually anything to run properly on that platform is, if you can get it to run at all. It doesn't support most keyboard/mouse software, it doesn't support any anticheat for any major games, and it's chronic use of CLI means that it can never get a large enough amount of users to become a viable platform. The only way that Linux users will get platform support is if someone actually makes a windows level user experience, and Ubuntu is still nowhere near that bar all these years later. If I can't use the things I use everyday on windows, on Linux without hitting the command line once, it's not happening for the general public.
That's pretty strongly worded - I know Bungie and Epic (Fortnite only) have both refused, but I consider quite a few of the many games that do support anti-cheat on Proton to be major https://areweanticheatyet.com/table/1/?search=&sortOrder=&sortBy=status
