By now, yes, Steam on Linux is its own project at Valve, and they are doing a great job in expanding the market share. It certainly is great that it developed into this, and I'm rather happy to have gotten rid of Windows on my gaming system.

However, at the beginning, their dependence on Microsoft was the driver that led them to develop Proton and make it a widely usable compatibility layer, rather than porting their own games to Linux.
