My point being that while valve itself has only 350 employees, it subcontracts far more than that.

These stats don't include subcontractors and as such they're very misleading. For example, who do you think produces the GPUs inside the steam deck? Hint: it's not Valve.
The whole thing never made much sense anyways, machines would be without scrupules and cut off any redundancies like extra limbs, they'd probably just keep your brain in a jar.
If you're addicted to a game, your phone battery is the least of your problems.
Well yeah, but the problem is typically the people who you don't want you calling you in the middle of night are also the ones willing to call you a few times till you pick up.
Most phones these days allow you to set a DND schedule which you can customize to allow specific numbers for emergencies and people that don't abuse it.
It's not that you can't do it, but rather that it's very much a windows concept, applications on linux don't need to hog your attention and dig through your data by starting with the OS. On linux you start an application when you need it. Setting up startup applications is usually a bit hard to find simply because it's not a feature that people care much for so you typically have to dig a bit to do it.
There's the new UMU launcher that allows running proton outside of steam. Winehq also works fine by itself, at the end of the day proton is just a fork of wine with a few patches and relies on plenty of shared components like dxvk and vkd3d.
Blizzard games have always had good linux compatibility. Might change now that they've bought by microsoft though.
As for ubisoft games they probably run too, launchers are a pita but they do run, you'll need something like lutris, bottles or heroic launcher to get you started running shit outside of steam, they're not necessary but they make things simpler.
The problem is that you're trying to do shit like if you were still on windows. Linux doesn't really have startup applications, we use daemons for everything that needs to start with the OS, everything else is meant to be launched manually.
However you can still do what you're asking for, and it'll depend on the DE not the distribution. Ubuntu and Pop OS use gnome that has an option to set startup programs in gnome tweaks.
Yes.
