Surely there is no way to install steam on linux and download stuff off that installation without revealing that you are doing it on a linux machine. I mean you are either requesting a linux build of the game from their server or you are downloading some wine/proton components or configurations. Right?

The info from the Steam Hardware Survey is collected on an opt-in basis. I'm sure Valve has plenty of ways to get this information otherwise, but this specific data set requires acceptance of the terms of the survey.
