I agree with that.
But.
If we're now shouting
"Just use Proton! Don't do ports! Ports are bad!"
... I fear, developers might later, when the share has risen, just say:
"Just use Proton! We don't do ports! Ports are bad!"
It's what Linux gamers said! For years! Right?!?
People used to try to push the doors open for Linux being a first class gaming system.
I agree with you that it might have been mostly futile. I know for sure that it wasn't 100%. (I am at least responsible for one port, just by friendly nudging.) But yes, I don't think it accomplished much.
But what people are doing now, they're Linux gamers mind you, is pushing the doors in the other direction.
If you're fine running your games with Proton, alright. No problem with that.
But would you then just leave the doors to first class Linux gaming as they are?
