I'm aware of that.  Have you tried it though?  Many people have said many Windows games still have trouble running in Linux or won't run at all.  I've tried it myself and have been unable to run a few of the games I like to play. Also, there are some demanding Windows games that I like (such as Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024) that I just don't think would run in Linux.

Also, native Linux versions would be even more ideal than having a compatibility layer to run Windows games in Linux.
