That might be it. Whatever the reason, it seems like a missed opportunity. Especially when they go out of their way to provide direct APKs to Android users who do not use Play Store.
They might have done their stats and figured out that only 0.0000001% of their users would benefit from it and there weren’t much profit there to make.
I don’t think they don’t care, they have been adding Linux versions for all of their apps (except drive of course). The CEO themselves said in an interview that a Linux client for drive is inevitable and they will make one, but one of the hardest clients to develop.
The guy who made the Backblaze software said it was already done and was easy for their standard client to work with Linux but never got rolled out because Linux users are power users. I wonder if that is the real reason when it comes to Proton. It’s not unlimited but maybe there is some power user use that they anticipate and don’t want to deal with.

They already had to make the APK for the Play Store, providing it directly doesn’t require extra dev work.
They stopped doing that unfortunately, I think. I struggled to find all 6 apps
