Speaking as a former game cheater...

Cheaters are going to cheat. Booting into Linux isn't going to change that.

Anti-cheats just keep the filthy casuals from cheating. A broken anti-cheat on Linux would be fixed pretty quickly.

Sure, but that's dev resources they need to spend on a small market, and they'd suggest need to hire Linux devs or pull from other projects. It's quite likely the math just doesn't add up given the likelihood for profit for other uses of those resources.

I doubt Epic would lose money in it, but they probably wouldn't make as much as other options.
