Yeah, I wish Valve and Apple would make nice (like they did back in the day for Steam on Mac) enough to:

1) Update all the first-party Valve games to 64-bit since the 32-bit binaries are no longer supported

2) Bring Proton support to MacOS, which is what Steam uses to run Windows games on Linux and the Steam Deck console.

Apple would probably need to do the heavy lifting on (2) by either adding Vulkan support to their GPU drivers or by adding Metal support to Proton.

Yep. It would be awesome, but I feel like Apple wouldn't be very enthusiastic about putting in effort for an emulated solution over native games.
