PLEASE THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE POSTING HERE.
Developers do not look for reports on social media, so they will not see it and all it does is clutter up the feed.

That explains absolutely nothing...
The status quo of Linux native gaming hasn't changed. What's changed is a compatibility layer.
Are you saying there's going to be a compatibility layer for iOS apps or something?
It explains the question of "why do they make this".
Much more than that. What has changed is that studios explicitly work towards compatibility with it.
Well, there are already those for Android.
Wouldn't be surprising if someone did the same for Tizen or any of the other vendor's SmartTV systems. They all Linux systems after all.
Also this is only an issue for some proprietary apps. Some of which are often just fancy frontends for services which are also accessible in a web browser.
The people working on this might not even be using those
No.
There's no work required.
They don't work without a ton of futzing around with microg and whatnot, and Google is actively trying to break them.
Which doesn't have the interface that this entire concept is about, and is limited to 720p.
People work on things they like to work on. Might be hard to understand if you don't create things for fun or for the challenge or because you have a use case but many people are motivated that way.
I guess that will mostly depend on whether the web interface detects being using in big screen mode.
Really? Last time I streamed on my laptop I had the impression it was full screen resolution, i.e. 1080p. Might depend on the subscription level, you connection and with which browser.
