Embark has made a statement I think in 7.6 or 7.5 patch notes, that even though they will not make a native version of The Finals on Linux, they still make sure this game will work on Linux, even once they switch anti-cheats.
On Discord (I know I know yuck) they said they've been cooperating with Codeweavers since Season 5, iirc as consulting to prevent making changes which would break the game on Linux.
There were two updates (iirc 5.12 and 6.9) which did break the game, but those got fixed within 24 hours.
