From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it's gaming you can probably discuss it here!

I mostly agree with your comment, but...
Remember that Wine is built by community of volunteers (afaik, tell me if I'm wrong), and they don't have as much resources as company worth billions USD.
A lot of the development for Proton has also been community-based. Aside from whatever Steam has done to directly improve Proton, just creating the Steam Deck, and SteamOS has brought so much more attention and focus to improving it to an extent that probably wouldn't have happened otherwise. It gave people a reason to volunteer their time to improve it.
