Valve isn't promoting native ports in the first place and suits only know "Works with Windows games, we don't need to care about details".

They already tried that in the Steam Machines era. It clearly wasn't working.

Steam Deck is way more successful than 3rd party Steam Machines. The comparison makes zero sense because it ignores all developments since then.

It would be just as (un)popular as the Steam Machines if it wasn't for Proton, that's my whole point.
