I'll respect Tim more if he supports and contributes to Linux.

How many contributions to RADV, ACO, Proton?

These are the Vulkan specifications: https://registry.khronos.org/vulkan/specs/latest/html/vkspec.html
Search "valve" on this page and count the number of results, then search "epic" and compare.
How many viable game engines / game development toolchains does Valve produce that run on Linux?
You're cherry picking parts of the ecosystem to care about, because it serves your preexisting narrative that Valve=Good, Epic=Bad.
As a consumer, Valve gives me greater value than Epic. Its just simple as that.
