Yup, they care about cheaters scaring away paying customers. Supporting another platform increases the attack surface of the game, at it needs enough new customers to be worth the risk.

That's it. If Linux support doesn't have a high chance of significantly increasing profit, and it has a risk of pushing cash cow, they're not going to do it.
