Epic also owns one of the largest "anti-cheat" software companies. That refuse to support linux, or work with Valve on making it work on proton.

There are quite a few games that work great with proton, but can't be played online because the anti-cheat won't run. Like Arma3. It runs great in linux, but the binaries are always 3-6 months behind the windows ones. so your choice is to find a server with 2-3 people on it, or run it on proton, see lots of servers with hundreds of people, and can't connect.

Also the problem with fortnight, pubg, etc.

Their anti-cheat software might have a hard time getting any injected shellcode to run under Linux.
