‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game
As gaming on Linux becomes more popular, Denuvo’s “activations” limit will become a bigger problem.

This is why native support still matters. Anything not supported can pull the rug out from under you at any time.
Except for when glibc updates and breaks games with native support (but not the ones running through a compatibility layer). Although that definitely happens way less than devs purposefully pushing changes that break on Linux.
Linux has never been good at running old binaries. It's always assumed that you are running software compiled for the current version if your distribution, and programs that are not available can be compiled from source (because you obviously use only open source software). For everything else you need to use compatibility layers that provide necessary environment.
Yeah, games through Proton are a bit like containerized apps, you get everything you need to run them in the Proton package.
I'm not following your argument. You're perfectly capable of having the rug pulled out from under you with a native Linux build too.
