As a hardcore Linux fan, the only way I see game devs publishing native Linux ports is when when it has a >30% market share.

For Valve Linux isn't just another OS. It's their Steam Deck platform which they could promote towards publishers the same way as console makers promote their platforms. This story once again shows that chasing Windows compatibility without using Windows is a stepping stone but not the final answer.
