Oh I see, yes that's a misunderstanding here. I was just confused. :D
As for the second point of Windows lock-in, this is no longer the real issue thanks to the integrated efforts of Proton. Developers don't even need to build a Linux version of the game. It really mostly comes down to the anti cheat, which doesn't work on Linux the same way as Windows. There are anti cheat systems that work on Linux, but they are not as effective, because it does not have the same Kernel privileges as on Windows.
