I believe the anticheat for Fortnite it the kernel-level flavor or Easy Anti Cheat the article mentions, and I think that by its nature it cannot be easily ported to Linux, Epic would have to drop it altogether in favor of the “vanilla” flavor of EAC.

Epic putting the work to make their anticheat compatible with Windows-on-ARM but cannot be bothered to do the same for Linux… 🙄
The funniest thing about it is that they did make the anticheat Linux compatible. They just refuse to activate it for Fortnite.

On one hand, nice to see support for ARM - on the other hand, hopefully that can trickle down to Linux down the line one way or another.
