This has been covered over and over. The bottom line is usually that devs view Linux as too varied a market for native support. There is always at least a claim that Linux bug reports far outpace windows and mac reports per-capita, and it does not sound unrealistic overall as a reality.

Proton also runs games well quite often. I would imagine that proton's presence is in fact even more incentive to not support native Linux systems, since you aren't really losing that userbase so long as the game still runs on proton.

I get what you are saying but the note is about the developer dropping the Steam Deck supported Anti-Cheat. They were never developing for Linux, they just switched Anti-Cheat provider.
