I think it's a combination of factors:

Long term trend of services moving from native desktop to more web apps which incidentally improves Linux support
Valve pushing Linux Gaming to new heights
Flatpak reaches critical mass and shipping on multiple distros by default
Unpopularity of the latest Windows development trends
Average PC user becoming more technically inclined -- "normal" people more likely to skip the PC and go mobile-only
