Very often, these days, this boils down to:
The game uses an anti cheat / anti piracy system which does support linux and proton, but the devs or management of the game decided against clicking a few boxes which would enable that support.
Because kernel level anti-cheat can be circumvented by modifying the kernel which Linux allows. -Kudos to the devs for not allowing cheaters. Also, these games have 'minimum spec' requirements where Linux is nowhere to be found on those specs. -They don't owe Linux users their support. And as you say 'Very often' - which implies there are still great games that simply don't work.
Dual booting is a bother, and an overhead on storage as well as a main tech support issue for Linux users. Gaming in Linux isn't so straight forward either.
It's obvious they just want to cheat, linux users aren't known for being good trustworthy people. The project in fact caters to criminals (spies, hackers, and even drug dealers. It isn't at all shocking that they also harbor cheaters as well.
