I remember when Proton launched it was like magic playing games like Doom and Nier Automata straight from the Linux Steam client with excellent performance. I do not miss the days of having the Windows version of Steam installed separately.

Microsoft makes their money off licenses.

Yes, but the discussion wasn't about how Microsoft makes its money, it was about how important gaming was to promoting one OS over another, via hardware sales...

Gaming isn’t much of a factor, especially when the majority of gamers are console players.

And I would argue gaming is a big part of that, which is what my original reply was about.
