Steam is a great example. I'm usually very pro-FOSS, but when it comes to gaming, I happily fork over the $$$, and a surprisingly large number of games work just fine on Linux. As I understand it, Valve have been explicitly marketing proton-compatibility as a low-hurdle standard to help Windows developers dip into the Linux market. Furthermore, changes are coming to the Linux kernel which will make it even easier for Proton to run Windows software. The ease of proton compatibility completely obviates the tired arguments about how Linux users don't have enough market share.
