If you give me a black box of code, and I can't tell the difference, I don't care what is in the box. The primary things to be concerned about are A) support (which sounds like valve is covering themselves, not that they are notorious for great support), and B) performance.
If something is performant and it works, who cares how it got there. If either of those things aren't there, then I could see how the frustration kicks in.
In the mean time, I have a ton of friends who have been saying "I would use Linux but my games" for years now that might actively take the plunge.
As proton evolves and gets better, I fully expect more devs to make minor tweaks to make their game play nicer with proton, which is far easier to do than making a full linux build. Which means overall, the games getting betters, and the tools getting better, this is great news for gaming on linux.
Now I wonder how proton will play out for non steam games. If proton is basically "game-centric wine", will I be able to use it to play Overwatch?
