Proton needs to be understood as a temporary solution to make the back catalogue on Linux comparable to Windows.
Eventually there is a tipping point and most games will have native Linux binaries. Once that happens all developers will gradually follow suit to avoid being left behind. Perhaps Valve's latest hardware efforts will finally bring this about.
Proton will still exist for older games and as hardware continues to become more powerful, loss of performance won't matter much.
