The Steam user survey isnt a representative number. An API isn't emulated, it's implemented, it's no more or less native than Windows itself.

In various benchmarks Proton is now outperforming Windows. There is no need for it anymore, outside some niche applications.

Statistics only matter when they make our case, yeah.

I know pretty well how Proton works.
