No, because proton is not Windows. Wine only works on Linux, so it’s actually a Linux platform. I consider every developer/publisher who targets proton to actually be targeting Linux, rather than windows. Every single time a windows update breaks something that continues to work on proton I laugh

Obviously wine works only on Linux, it converts Windows calls to Linux…
And there are Windows devs targeting proton compatibility specifically?!
In my opinion proton could somehow helps devs realizing that there could be a Linux market but that doesn’t go further than that.

A lot of them aim for Steam Deck, so maybe not explicitly, but yeah.
Interesting, do you have any devs communication about it?
