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.
You only need Windows for gaming if you’re playing games that are installing malware rootkits. Normal gaming is fine on Linux.
Not true, many games still don’t work well on Linux, see any Forza game, and even CS2 doesn’t play nice on Pop

and even then we are talking about games written for windows. gaming on linux is fine

This is probably only true for Nvidia GPU systems.
