You would be surprised! It is illogical to me as well but Windows is prevalent on GOG.com, just like everywhere else in the gaming world.
Still, the Linux community did a bang up job to add Linux support by themselves with projects such as GOGDL, Comet, Minigalaxy, Lutris, innoextract, and of course, Heroic Games Launcher. I might be forgetting some others.
The fact that these solutions are not actively blocked by GOG.com is... something, I guess.
Back in my times there was definitely awareness of the community-ran third party tools inside of the company. Especially all the tech people responsible for games, their delivery, and customer support did not want to break any compatibility with those tools.
But the approach towards the official Linux support from the shot callers was dismissive on the grounds of the low number of customers.
