Not sure why you're negative about the progress so far. Tons has happened and Vulkan will hopefully be the last remaining blocker for in-house porting on a wider scale.
But for all their sins, we have many AAA games on Linux now.
The reason you've not seen everybody and their brother come over is simple. They have games they want to play that don't work in Linux. Old rubbish like LoL, WoW and GTAV (which nearly didn't get a Windows version) is very sticky but the developers won't throw money at porting it. Hopefully their next iterations will be a little more open to cross platform support from the ground up.
