> In way I don't mind that Linux gamers are getting better games on average
Who says they are? There's plenty of crap available for Linux. I mentioned Braid because it's a very popular and very good Indie game available on both platforms. I surely wasn't implying that Linux only receives ports of the finest of games.
Also what makes a game "good" is subjective. From the perspective of hours played, Braid isn't very good.
> That doesn't describe the situation well. Linux gaming is for sure a much smaller market than Windows gaming, but not only it's already viable
It is viable for some small developers and for larger developer who are already using tools ported to Linux it can make sense to add support however for the majority of game studios making popular (not necessarily good or bad games) it doesn't make sense.
Crowdfunded games are more commonly released for Linux than publisher funded games, and they more often represent not the mass market, but something interesting that creators want to pursue. So for me it translates into better games on average on Linux. But as you said, it's subjective.
The market however is viable for everybody, but as I said, if everybody from the Windows gaming market will start releasing games for Linux now, it can actually hurt it, rather than improve it. Gradual growth is better, and it's already happening. Tools wise, the situation is getting much better as well, with all major engines gaining Vulkan support. Common middleware like Umbra 3D also often supports Linux these days.
