I don't believe that's true. According to ProtonDB, 80% of the top-1000 most-played games on Steam are confirmed working on Linux: https://www.protondb.com/dashboard

I haven't seen any source documenting nearly similar success rates with Mac but I also haven't seriously tried gaming on Apple Silicon.

What a coincidence! So are a variety of Macs that shipped with hardware supporting Linux and Vulkan on day 1.

Yes, but this thread is about Asahi Linux, which is for M series Macbooks. Not x86.
