> just pays for MS Windows. Paying for MS Windows is not a problem. If I could just throw money at Microsoft and have all the apps I need running on Linux, I would have.

Because that's how contributions normally work. The more people interested, the more likely a patch will land. It can take significant effort to run some software. That takes time. By the time it's running perfectly, it's "old" software. It just needs effort. One of the bad things about the Stadia demise is that some of the work done on the titles themselves benefit Wine. For example, Cyberpunk was perfectly playable on launch day.
