Valve is solving the chicken-and-egg problem. For a developer, it is costly to maintain a separate build for Linux without the consumer base to justify the effort. And without games, most people will not leave windows.
Proton offers Valve independence from windows without effort and cost for the developers. And without penalties for the gamers as well.

I encourage *everyone* who thinks "it's too difficult or costly" to *see for themselves* before believing the people taking them for a ride!
