The world just isn't black and white is it.

Epic could certainly be described as anti-linux, for the reasons you've described. On the other hand they have invested quite a bit into open source cross platform projects Godot being a good example.

Valve have made huge amounts of money from gambling but have been tremendous in pushing Linux as a viable gaming platform.

CD Projekt are staunchly DRM free which is fantastic, and offer support for Linux releases on their store, but they are dragging their heels on full Linux support with GoG Galaxy, and talk condescendingly about Linux users with regards to their games Witcher 3 and more recently Cyber Punk 2077.

Judging by their actions I would still pick Valve ahead of the other two as the best for Linux as a modern desktop OS.
