Heroic is ultimately outside of GOG's sphere of influence. If you decide to officially lean on them and they decide to drop GOG or Herioc development entirely they'd have to scramble for a replacement.

And honestly I only use Herioc to interface with GOG, i'd probably prefer use the official application if there was any.

Yeah I get from a user's perspective why they would like an official client. But I personally don't believe it would attract enough new users to make maintaining a Linux version worthwhile from the firms perspective. ~~Especially managing game compatibility on Linux seems like a nightmare.~~ (I take this back, I was thinking about it and I haven't had any issues with Proton for a while now.) But hey, their board probably already weighted this out before making the decision so I might just be underestimating the crowd it would attract
