If a game is badly optimized, runs like shit and has bugs, it can still get verified badge.

And that is precisely why the badge is worthless. As a consumer, if I see that badge, I should be able to assume that the game is going to run well using default settings. But in reality, seeing that badge tells me nothing about how well the game runs.

Conversely, if I check the ProtonDB page for that same buggy verified game, users on ProtonDB will actually call out that it is a buggy mess and that it does not run well. And I will know that I should not buy it, or that I will have to put in extra effort to get it to work well.
