I can understand the sentiment, but don’t ignore the real advantages to the proton/wine way of doing things.
For instance, some old games won’t run on modern Windows but will run on Linux under proton/wine.
It’s also just a lot easier for game companies to target a single platform i.e. Windows. When Valve first released their Steam machines, a few AA games were released natively. For several of those, the native builds no longer work and you now need to run the Windows version under proton/wine.
