Probably because that's not the case, native Linux builds don't run the Windows version through proton, unless specifically told to. (As I discovered after asking the initial question)

They didn't claim the windows version was run through proton by default. They said that some linux versions do not play well with cross-OS multiplayer, and thus the windows version must be run for said functionality.
