For the implications, I believe it would create a first class commercial level competition for Windows. It would open the door for a vendor trusted platform that implemented all the anti-cheat technologies. Paving the way to lift the virtual Linux ban on first day AAA games compatibility.

This is what I was getting at. Sure, most games can be run with Proton fine and well, but if anti-cheat is code for "run Windows or else", a lot of games are just unplayable, forcing gamers to at least dual boot with Windows.
