> Running games on Linux is trivial at this point

Running most things on Linux is trivial if you're lucky enough to run the right hardware and software configuration.

I'm not one of the lucky ones and even on my otherwise pretty compatible desktop more than 50% of my Steam games don't even start with Wine/Proton. Not to mention games from other distributors where you have to get both the launcher and the game to run at the same time. Lutris helps but may still need a lot of fiddling if it doesn't run on first try.

On average it's simply not comparable to Windows where a game not running well is a rare exception.
