Remember that the portion of Steam users that use Proton regularly is less than 10%, if you include Deck users. That number is rising and is probably a major factor in the decision to switch, but it’s still a minority.

One of the reasons Steam held out for so long was that a lot of the games they host are 32-bit only. Games are built by a company, many of which have gone belly-up, so rebuilding the game from scratch is impossible. Making Steam 32 bit even though it could be 64 bit is a really effective way to guarantee a large chunk of their legacy products will still run. In a lot of ways, because of the nature of the gaming industry, Steam has it worse than most package managers/app stores.

On the subject of Oklahoma, after they said that the Native Americans could keep it, they pulled a 180 and decided Americans could settle there. There were 2 major populations, the Boomers, who moved in when they were supposed to and settled in a big wave, and the Sooners, who moved in before they were allowed to and were already settled in the best spots when the Boomers arrived. To commemorate one of our most ethical moments of western colonization, the University of Oklahoma decided to name their mascot the Sooner. So there ya have it, thr official mascot of UO is the people who illegally moved into Native American that we promised would be theirs forever.
