This is an interesting take, especially coming from a non-gaming focused tech website like Ars Technica. I feel like it's been too long since people were truly hyped about half life 3 though, and this wouldn't be enough, even if Valve did go through with it.

People are increasingly unhappy with windows though, and the EoL of windows 10 may push people to Linux anyways.

There is no chance Valve will make HL3 ~~SteamOS or Linux exclusive~~.

I think it will get made someday but likely will suck and/or be too late for anyone to really care

It's already too late. HL1 came out 27 years ago, HL2 came out 20 years ago.

Only old people will be hyped. Old people don't hype well.

It's because we are all tired and something usually hurts. The thing that hurts and the reason it hurts changes, but "something hurts" is near constant state of being.
