Agreed, and one particular example I can think of is Terraria's Steam Workshop tools. If I try and publish a texture pack using the Linux-native version of the game, it crashes, but when I use the Windows version of the game via Proton, it works just fine. Not sure if the developers have gotten around to fixing this yet.

Edit: Now that I think of it, it's a similar story with Half-Life 2 now that they added Steam Workshop support for its 20th anniversary. Crashes on native, works fine under Proton.
