The cost to maintain “native” ports is too high to make sense for most developers.
PS:
Proton also makes it easier to preserve games since an “native” port would become incompatible overtime without work to adapt the software to changes in the system it’s running.

If that was the case, no console ports would exist, except maybe Xbox because Xbox uses modified Windows internally.

Inform yourself what Steam Linux Runtime is before making such comments. You are 100% wrong.
How fucking idiot would you have to be to complain about users sending bug reports. Linux users usually send very detailed bug reports, which can uncover bugs that might happen on all platforms.
Yes Linux users generate great reports because they care and usually are more knowledgeable.
But treat the reports cost time and work, and usually this problems will not happen for the majority of their use base.
So, as the company, you can have 0.1% of your sales generating 20% of extra work that will not benefit 99.9% of the users. It is easier and cheaper to cut that group (us Linux users) instead of support.
