I think possibly one of the goals of Proton is to allow for a gaming streaming service like Stadia without needing to pay the Microsoft tax, or to tweak the Linux kernel in other ways as to increase RoI.

Wishful/Crazy thinking?

The goal of Proton is probably to have an alternative ready in case Microsoft decides to go Apple and require 30% payment for everything that runs on their OS. They started to lean that way with UWP and Windows Store and it made Valve work on Linux compatibility since.
