People fear what they don't know. Valve has made Linux gaming stupid easy and still people are more worried about FOMO of that small percentage of games that don't run on Linux. Maybe we'll see a shift if someone releases a banger game that's designed to be really really good on steam deck (so Linux exclusive, basically) and have it out in Linux for a few months before the windows version comes out

Unfortunately, most of the non-working games are also the ones people tend to have FOMO about. I feel like they're mostly online games with anti-cheats which, by their online nature, means that you will feel really missing out when all of your friends except you play the game, more so than single player games.
