Ok, but why would a hardcore Linux person want to play games that embody everything they hate about Windows in their mode of production, data gathering practices, politics, etc?

linux users like to have fun too

Also, there are plenty of Windows-only games that aren't subject to those practices. Free games, itch.io games, GOG games, etc. There's a big world out there!

Those games are generally not AAA by definition, and often either already have a Linux build released, run acceptably under traditional emulation, or both.
