I had a game that wouldn’t launch via steam, but for some reason worked fine if I just ran it as an executable via protontricks.

You do realise that's actually requiring you to modify things you shou;don't have to in order to access things that you've paid for, right?

No, because the game does not support linux, so I never paid for it to work on linux. The fact that most games do anyway, usually out of the box and without any issues, is largely thanks to valve.
