So, wait, does this mean that gaming is better on Linux, on a Mac?

That includes raytracing support and heterogeneous paging support which are two things Alyssa calls out explicitly herself. Not to mention the VM overhead.
That’s not to say Alyssa’s work is not very impressive. It is. But GPTk is still ahead.
That’s not even including the other aspects of Mac support that Asahi still needs to get to. Again, very impressive work, but the answer to your question is No.
My strong conviction is that From is pretty much technically inept when it comes to Windows ports so I just play their titles on console...
An emulated title that is in itself a not so great port will have trouble ofc...
as for how well fromsoft games run on windows you might have been right 12 years ago when dark souls 1 came out initially. it was a mess at the time, but souls games have been running just fine on windows(and linux for that matter) for years. it's only on macos that it is a mess. this has nothing to do with fromsoft and everything to do with macos.
When it came out initially for windows I had already done two playthroughs so just did ... not ... care. I just read it's a crap port in the news.

Maybe. For like 4 years I ran my PCs without a dedicated video card because crypto and chip crisis. The whole PS5 with an extra controller cost less than an equivalent PC video card at the time :)
[I do have a video card now, but only because someone paid me to write neural network code.]
