For now, it's probably better for developers to focus on Windows in such a way that Wine/Proton can easily run it on Linux. But once the percentage of Linux users grows big enough, it may become more attractive for developers to focus on a native Linux version.

That won't be for a while, though. But im the mean time, Wine/Proton/DXVK means that the Linux experience is excellent even without explicit developer support, so the Linux user base can grow beyond just the handful of die hards. Anyone can easily game on Linux now.

That is how Steam solves the chicken/egg problem.
