I wasn't aware GTA was a Valve game ;-)
I'm guessing the rest, being primarily multiplayer games, are blocked by some anti-cheat/DRM scheme. Hopefully Valve can work out some compromise to get those working on Wine/Proton.

Believe it or not, League of Legends actually works pretty well on Linux (I run it through Lutris). It takes a while for the launcher to initially load on startup, and the launcher is a bit of a slow/laggy mess, but from what I hear from my Windows friends the latter at least is just a general LoL launcher problem more than a Linux problem. Once you actually load into a game it runs completely flawlessly, with great performance.

Maybe my comment was unclear. I said "all but one of them" and by "them" I meant, "the ones that work on Linux." The "but one" is referring to GTA, which you correctly observe is not a Valve game, as I did also in my comment. I edited to clarify.
Also worth noting that a number of actual top ten games are not on Steam. Valorant, league of legends, warzone, escape from tarkov, and Fortnite all are not available on that platform. (Some of these may not be top ten -- it's hard to know because we don't have solid numbers, but they are all in the top 20 of twitch viewership.)
