Steam can get stats on how many games are being played via Proton. And I don’t see how we depend on them?

If Windows becomes unpopular as a gaming OS, and most publishers and platforms don’t differentiate between genuine Windows and Linux/macOS via Proton/Wine, they’ll stop releasing on it. No matter how many people play on Linux or macOS.

Do you have actionable advice

Buy a game more often if it’s directly on your OS and less if you’ll have to play the Windows version, with indies and very small publishers you could openly request a build for your OS, or at least leave more positive reviews for games with a build for your OS than ones that don’t.
TL;DR make it obvious that there is demand, rather than using a virtualiser and depend on the other system.
