Maybe I'm crazy, but does anyone else see Proton as a double edged sword?

The way I've been seeing it is, yeah, it's great for Linux users because they get to play games that normally don't run on Linux with a lot more ease than ever before.

But on the other hand, I feel as though the biggest triple AAA game studios will see it and use it as an excuse not to create a Linux version of their game.

That's a fair point, but proton works so well that native linux games can be a worse experience than windows games via proton, so I don't really care at the end of the day.
