2 big reasons I’ve seen.
First is idiot csuite/suits at the top who think linux = haxxing and they somehow lose business by supporting them.
Second is kind of true, that people have trouble running on linux and go to official forums asking for help, or leave negative reviews that they couldn’t get it to work, which isn’t fair to the developer.

There’s a gamingonlinux article which might explain a bit.
Very roughly, a few alterations to the anticheat to make it work on Wine made some of the anticheat’s workings apparent, which in turn allowed people to work out new exploits.
As to why all the anticheat stuff matters so much, I’m not quite sure.

it’s probably not about anti-cheat but something with collecting data which is probably easier when you install a rootkit
