     @coolboymew Wine provided that a lot earlier if you were willing to wrench. (I played WoW exclusively on *nix.)

     FSF doesn't maintain shit. They also don't finance GNOME or GNU.
     
     Linux Foundation spends around 2% of its money on actually Linux, the rest goes to crypto, AI, fighting climate change, creating vaccine passports, and other Very Important Projects.
     
     Out of all those organisations you listed, Valve is basically the only one really interested in Linux becoming a widespread desktop platform. Everyone else is borderline useless.

     The FSF gets a mere million a year for maintaining the whole core of software freedom, they're like 14 in it and then it's sub foundations like the FSD, GNU, RYF, Gnome, LP etc... which they finance.
     The Linux foundation gets a quarter of a billion per year.
     
     "Valve is worth $7.7 billion in 2022. Valve generated around USD13 billion in total revenue in 2022, about USD10 billion of the revenue was from the Steam store."
     And you praise them for making a simple compatibility layer ?
     I don't say it's not worthy of thanks but putting them on a pedestal is overkill, especially for a lucrative entity with almost unlimited funds.
