You're only about 10 years too late for anyone to give a single crap about native linux
Proton's a little more recent than that. I still remember the bad old days of Steam on Linux from 2013-2017 where Proton didn't exist yet, and running the Windows version of Steam through WINE was a PITA. Heck, Proton didn't really start to get good until about 2021.
