Right... when people realized that a Chromebook can meet most people's needs because 98%+ of what they do can be done through a browser, then Linux becomes a more viable option.

BUT... while most people don't use their computers for gaming, the ones who do would be more likely to want to try Linux with Proton. The recent surges will get even more people familiar with how good Linux is, and they will be able to evangelize to the less adventurous.
