Because it's not Valve doing that. It's Bethesda. Arena is a DOS game, and the version Bethesda provided to Valve is wrapped in DOSBox for Windows which runs inside a Proton pressure vessel. For games where Linux native is an option, such as HBS Battletech, Steam will prefer the Linux version.
Heroic works essentially the same way.
As an aside, my Steam Deck convinced me to abandon Windows entirely. Switched to Tumbleweed over a year ago. No regrets except that I have yet to figure out Project Wingman modding under WINE/Proton.
