You can still softlock preventing progress in many, unless you're in a fully free mode

The problem is how long it takes to correct against stupid managers. Most companies aren't fully rational, it's just when you look at long term averages that the various stupidities usually cancel out (unless they bankrupt the company)

Valve even has a docker container target that includes Wine for future proofed porting

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-runtime

A newer approach to cross-distribution compatibility is to use Linux namespace (container) technology, to run games in a more predictable environment, even when running on an arbitrary Linux distribution which might be old, new or unusually set up.

The Steam Runtime is also used by the Proton Steam Play compatibility tools, which run Windows games on Linux systems. Current versions of Proton (8.0 or newer) use the Steam Runtime 3 'sniper' container runtime.

You target a version of the runtime when porting, and then ALL software ported to a given runtime will work on any host environment where you can support that runtime version

In fact, you can even run this on Windows if you want to avoid potentially messing up dependencies on the host OS, or avoid compatibility problems

FYI if you have disk encryption enabled you need to pause/disable it first (assuming you're using automatic unlock using the TPM, which usually is the default)
