Big publishers are the bigger threat when it comes to Linux compatibility, since they want DRM and will block anticheat support and want microtransactions and always online in their games. Like what happened to GTA V online And Apex when it came to discontinued Linux compatibility and Battlefield and Fortnite when it comes to anticheat support.

That's less a launcher problem but big corporate gaming backed games in general. If someone is that fearful of a launcher when it comes to that they should be more concerned with big publisher games everyone gets hyped about year after year than a game launcher on an open platform.
