In the Steam Deck announcement this week Valve mentioned they were going to work with vendors to get anti-cheat finally working, so fingers crossed.

I guess it's inevitable. It makes no sense for Windows to be the PC gaming platform; it's only inertia.

It makes sense for almost every user and developer, due to better graphics support from GPU vendors and from Microsoft for Windows.

Well of course, but that's only popularity and inertia. There's no technical reason to prefer Windows over Linux as a gaming platform.

Edit: oh, I just rephrased grandparent comment, sorry.

Better technical support of GPU vendors for games isn't a technical reason?

No, that's logistics. Logistics is relatively easy to change.
