The problem is more that some games don't work, but if that game is one you really want to play, that adds a very strong reason not to use it.
A lot of Linux users, especially the vocal ones, are very happy to just ignore the games they can't play. Not everyone would agree with that.
I keep a Windows install in case there is a game that I want to play that works on Linux but I haven't used it in months (mostly just to play VR)
