Respawn/EA have never announced Linux support for Apex Legends, as far as I can tell, and it's been working most of the time for the past two years, except for the few times when they've botched an update (and which they fixed it afterwards).

The Finals used to kick me before I've got to the main screen, claiming the lack of anticheat as a reason. now the launch shows EAC window loading and lets me fully through, so it seems quite obvious to me that they've enabled the support on their end.

Apex Legends was one of the big things that they were using as an example to show off the Steam Deck and is one of the main games listed on their "Steam Deck Verified" pages. I assume this means that Valve and Respawn/EA were talking to each other about it at least.

I would like to see Steam to require games to not ban Linux users for using Linux (or at least disclose that they are doing it) as a requirement for being listed on their store, but that's probably not going to happen.
