Well...it has the opportunity to be. More native integration and/or wine fixes for certain issues, and anti-cheat being allowed would definitely put it on track to be there.

Anti-cheat is allowed. There are a handful of anti-cheat systems that can't work on Linux, but IIRC, they are in the minority.

They are the minority, but have large player bases. Eliminating that barrier would mean that Linux devices (not just desktops) would be a one-shot win for most consumers.

personally, I'm really glad they are not writing kernel level rootkits disguised as games for Linux yet

Which is why it won’t ever happen (anti cheat allowed). Microsoft makes sure of that with $$$ to those devs that refuse to support Linux.
