I am sad and little bit confused why they are not cooperating with protondb. For a company that leverages its customers all the time it seams so odd that they do all of this busy work all on their own.

Because they're better equipped and it enhances their platform to be a reliable one stop. That said protondb having user comments is incredibly helpful.

Also a point for not relying on protondb, they mark The Finals as a platinum ready to play game but it is a crashing nightmare deserving of silver at best. A common complaint by users there too.

So why rely on protondb if it's not a guarantee? They have orders of magnitude more data to draw a better picture than the user opt in aggregation of protondb that's faulty at times.
