CodeWeavers, the developers of Crossover, also do most of the development on proton under contract for Valve.

This is speculation but I suspect there's something in that contract that prevents Valve from competing with Crossover on MacOS.

Nah, nothing like that. We explored shipping Proton for macOS early on, but decided it wasn't where we wanted to spend our time, so we removed it[1] to focus on Linux. There's only so many hours in the day, and supporting two platforms is a lot more work than one.
