Proton/Wine could be used on OSX for a long time. Wine for ARM has also been a thing for a while. But it only worked with ARM Windows software.
Combining Wine with x86 emulation has also become a thing in the last few years. And rumor has it that Valve have beem dabbling in it as well for Deckard. But I don’t think it’s very widespread yet.
But that is probably about to change when Valve are increasing their ARM Mac efforts.
I believe ARM will be the future, developers should not ignore it. Qualcomm has been doing the Snapdragon Elite processors in Windows laptops for a bit now, and they are quite snappy - there is definitely something there. LTT had mostly positive reactions to the Snapdragon laptops they tested, and Apple silicone Macs are just so insanely powerful.
I told my help desk manager at work that I would like to be the pilot user when we start getting Surface laptops with the Snapdragon Elite processors. My past 3 work-issued HP Elitebooks (860 G6/G8/G11) on Intel have all been so disappointing.

To be fair: How many games on Steam support ARM anyways?
There’s Proton for Apple sillicon IIRC
Probably was just for the old Intel Macs.
