Is this still the case? I've been playing without noticing anything missing. But I'm not a veteran player that would notice either. Steam discussions seem to suggest it's all in sync?
It has admittedly been a while since I checked, but the Leader Pass is still listed as Win/Mac only in Steam, and there are recent reviews saying it doesn't work in Linux.
Are you able to start a game as Sejong? Wanting to do a Korea science run is what tipped me off that something was wrong.
Looks like you are correct. I don't think I could find most if not any of the leaders from the leader pass. Including Sejong. That's incredibly disappointing. Looking through the contents of the dlc from a proton install I'm not seeing anything that would prevent someone from just using it on Linux other than editing the paths. I'll experiment some. Maybe I'm naive and there's a reason why no one else has done it.
Edit: proton has come so far that maybe Linux peeps just opt to use that for civ6. Especially since the Linux build might be a tad buggy? At least for me it's definitely had issues.
Edit2: Ha. It works. That's wild that they would just lazily not repack it..
just copy the windows dlc packs over,

Some don't seem to show up in game still so I'll experiment more this weekend if I get time and throw together a bash script that downloads all the windows depots and patches them.
Edit3: for the ones not working it might be due to case sensitive file system. They use
