If I'm a studio, I don't care who's "job it is" to make it work, I'm just going to make it work if I care about getting those users.

That is the thing, they care about Windows users.

Usually they only care about Windows users, making all of this irrelevant. We're talking about a situation where they care about Linux users for whatever reason. They can either make it Linux-native (hard) or make sure it works in Proton (easy).
