Devil's advocate here: if it has a low ROI why should they?

Because they made a commitment when they sold the game to Linux users who bought it for the online multiplayer.
Just because a game is available for a platform doesn't mean that it will always be supported for that platform. That's like people complaining that the Wii U version of a multiplatform online game isn't getting patches anymore. Yeah, that sucks, but you're making a mistake if you think a platform will be supported indefinitely.
Not saying they should at all. Why pay to maintain a product line that isn’t financially viable?
