That's what I love about open source. Things build on other things iteratively, from Wine to DXVK to gamemode to Proton to UMU to various launchers like Zoom, Lutris, Heroic, minigalaxy.
Sure things can be deprecated and out of maintenance in both open and closed source systems, but with proprietary code being dropped your only option is reverse engineering it which is that much more of a barrier.
