As for "it's not Linux desktop", well, how many people use "desktop" Windows? For everyone who doesn't touch the Linux command line I can say, they don't touch the Windows registry either, or fiddle with group policies, or all the other "Windows-specific desktop stuff".
I'm perfectly happy if things work in Wine. I don't consider Wine non-Linux. For me it's Linux just like "native" Linux games. And as you said, Win API platform is much more stable and less prone to break at any time, so to me it's even better.
Proton devs share this viewpoint: https://blog.hiler.eu/win32-the-only-stable-abi/
In the end, it's still Linux you're using.
Just to be clear: I couldn't care less about native ports as long as game devs are incentivized to make it work under Wine or Proton. That's all that matters.
