As a linux only gamer, I wouldn't say "nearly every game". Proton has normal wine issues. Check ProtonDB for a compatability rating before buying any windows game on steam.

Most all of the games worth playing (factorio, subnautica, KPS etc) either have native linux clients or work fine via proton/wine, but the latest and greatest non-indi titles generally don't. Anti-cheat/DRM/spyware is a linux killer because it wants to inspect the operating system during play. Whatever the latest batman game is called... it probably doesn't work.

This is my conclusion as well. Almost everything I want to play runs on Linux one way or the other, so this has become a non-issue for me.

I agree the latest DRM'ed AAA game probably doesn't work (yet), but I wouldn't want to play it anyway.
