Most games are written for windows (or build the binary for windows), and many (if not still most) games with Linux builds run better through proton than the native build. It's worth noting that it's at least as common for games to run better through proton than natively on windows as it is to see any measurable hit from using proton.

Your limitation is almost entirely companies doing shit that should be jail time.
