How is that much of your library not functional? I have a library of 4200 games (some from family library) and over 90% are just fine thanks to proton.

I assume they're like a lot of people that only play competitive multiplayer games that don't have support for Linux for whatever reason. Or they're using a Nvidia GPU.

Nah, the vast majority of my interest is in single player story-based games. But hey, the moment SteamOS for desktop is here, I'm jumping on that

SteamOS is just Arch with some tweaks. Game compatibility isn’t even determined by SteamOS; Proton is doing all of the heavy lifting. So as long as the game works with Proton, it’ll boot on Linux.
