The title is a bit click-baity.
Steam had a setting where it would only run Proton on games on which it had been verified to work. Some people would inadvertently flip this setting off. Now the setting is gone, so they can't accidentally do this.
Do you mean the setting called "Enable Steam Play for all titles" that was usually unchecked, that you'd have to go in and check, which some folks wouldn't do (because they might not have known they were supposed to?)
Mfw i have been going into individual steam properties to select a proton version for all my games for the last 2 years.
