The game supply is built against those APIs. If games are to be played on Linux it is necessary to adapt to the games until Linux is big enough that games change for us.
But if you read the article even valve said fsync was basically good enough, why go this far if the improvements compared to fsync aren't amazing?
Fsync is also mentioned as having issues when emulating ntsync, and the improvements for some games are still quite good.
