Yes, Steam doesn’t do anything

You can just as easily use Wine/Proton as your runner as you can set up Steam to use Wine/Proton as your runner

Not true, steam makes it incredibly easy. Install steam, tick compatibility option, install, click green play button.

Lutris makes it incredibly easy. Install Lutris, tick runner option, install, click play button

Lutris is great, I use it myself.

However, if you have a friend fresh from Windows who already uses steam and you say, tick compatible proton 8 or latest and click play vs install new software and then add the game you’ve already lost the easy battle.
