Perfect is the enemy of good.
I suspect paradox are just taking a fuck you attitude here, but that's a separate point.
Like it or not, Linux is a very small part of the gaming ecosystem. We also now have proton, that makes it far less of an issue.
Give all this, I would rather a reliable windows version, with an eye towards not fucking over the proton translation. Any Linux version would likely lack a lot of bug testing etc.
The goal is a stable fast game that runs on Linux. How that is achieved is almost irrelevant. At this point, asking them to play nice with our translation layer is the best option.
