I agree for older titles, no real point in porting them over anymore with Proton being as good as it is for those. But for new titles it is a good idea to design the tech-stack to be multi-platform compatible (ideally even multi-arch) and Linux is a good test-case for that. This will make the software much more maintainable in the longer run, which is vital as gaming is becoming more of a service and less of a release and forget sort of thing.
Not having to rely on proton is definitely much better and preferable.
From what I heard all of Russia is in the process of switching to Linux. This can only encourage more software to be written with it in mind
