Agreed. Saying that just because an application layer that allows it to run on Linux exists will prevent developers from simply exporting the game and making the few critical changes necessary in order to make it work on Linux natively are two entirely different things.
The developers that export their games to run on Linux natively will likely have a higher sales rate for their Linux users, as us, the users, will know that the developer cares enough to do the proper export, and therefore we are likely to have some level of support should something go awry.
Whereas with proton, we have to rely on community notes in order to solve incompatibility issues, which can be a major hurdle for the less technologically inclined, AKA the majority of computer users
