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

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.

Inform yourself what Steam Linux Runtime is before making such comments. You are 100% wrong.

It should be obvious that all discussion around native games centers around stable Steam Deck hardware specs, SteamOS, and the Steam Linux Runtime container solution for games released on Steam, not some buggy (and mediocre) game from a literal decade ago released as tar.gz file into the wild.
