Someone did the math on Twitter.

There is about 2900 Linux gamers playing Apex.

So even if 100% of Linux gamers cheated it could in no way be the majority.

What I think happened is the dev team struggled to solve the problem so they used Linux as a scapegoat when leadership came down on them.

This sounds likely. Unfortunately, when the problem doesn't go away a few months from now, it's not like they'll reenable Linux support...
