I recommend you to read the "Win32 Is the Only Stable ABI on Linux" post. Sums up perfectly why Wine is needed and doing perfectly https://blog.hiler.eu/win32-the-only-stable-abi/
The TLDR is that easier to make games for Windows (single OS and API) and just maintaining Wine/Proton (works across all distros) than actually making a Linux build too of the game.
