People are still using Windows!?
Games
I've been gamin on Linux for over a year with 0 issues, the only games that should be keeping people back are a small handful of competitive games with certain types of anticheat. (Most anticheat does work on Linux)
And many VR games. Linux is not viable for VR gaming (without a lot of concessions).
It’s a work in progress. We’re getting there
One of my favorite games Phantom Dust only works with the microsoft store. Not really linux's fault but that's the reality
Have you actually tried to install it on Linux? I'd bet it would work.
Phantom Dust is distributed solely via the Microsoft Store, which requires a Windows environment to function. Compatibility layers such as Wine and Proton do not support the Microsoft Store, as it depends on Windows-specific services and APIs that are not replicated in these layers.

Ah yeah you're right, I didn't realize how baked in that stuff was.
