Oh no, people not being able to play games for a few hours, please stop the suffering.

Why would you want them to be breached? The only people that are going to be negatively affected by that are the users who was involved in the breach.
Yes and no. Sony would face repercussions for lax security, and while it would indeed affect the consumers, Sony would be at the epicenter. Forgive me for not giving a shit to what happens to Sony, and if they did in fact get breached I'll be there with some popcorn enjoying some Shadenfreude.
I hope they weren't breached again.
That's awfully nice of you, certainly not a hope I share.
Consoles have been pcs under the hood for a while, they could run pc games just fine, they choose not to. Sony could implement a browser for their 500$ walled garden, they choose not to. Sony could let you install another OS on the PS5, they choose not to.
wait 900 seconds before every post.

You can use gamescope with anything, it's a micro compositor. You can add it to the launch parameters in steam, lutris has an option to start games with gamescope, or you can simply open the game with gamescope and wine from the terminal.
Gamescope is great to use even on desktops, it runs the games in its own little shell which is particularly good for compatibility with old games where you can change stuff like resolution, fullscreen, keyboard layout... without impacting your distro.
The layout is just gnome, pretty sure you can change the DE if you want to, and yeah it does look like android which isn't necessarily a bad thing considering desktop usage is getting replaced by mobile.
Steam and the other loaders (lutris, bottles...) take care of all the compatibility stuff just fine; the tweaks are actually the ones that can be bothersome to get, not that the performance difference matters much anyways...
These limited things are always just time based exclusives, publishers aren't gonna leave money on the table.
Premium currencies are just very anti-consumer, I'm sure you know most of the arguments against it so I won't reiterate them.
GGG are great developers, but their sales department is as predatory as every other game, FOMO sales, lootboxes, premium currencies, supporter packs... Not being p2w (the standard on pc btw) is really the only good thing you can say about their current monetization.
