Unpopular opinion but proton works better than native games in many cases. Tbf I don't know about these titles in particular.

I would love it if devs would target proton / wine as a platform. Using familiar (to them probably) interfaces while optimizing for the use with proton, e.g. using Vulkan instead of DirectX.

I think that is actually happening with devs targeting the steam deck

Except Chrono Trigger. But that's because it's a Windows port of a Android port of the DS version. From steam reports, it's stuttery with occasional crashes. Better run the original on a emulator.
