Those anti cheat games usually need to opt in to supporting Proton/WINE. For Easy Anti Cheat (perhaps the biggest one out there), devs just need to tick a build option to support it, but then they feel obligated to do QA for it, so the option stays off until the higher ups decide to formally support that configuration.
So it's not that it's hard to mess it up, it's just hard to convince higher ups to allow their game to work on Linux.
If a AAA MP game doesn't work on Linux, it's probably intentional.
