Could Microsoft destroy Linux gaming by using the windows store (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

So as we know Windows Platform Apps and WinUI3 apps do not work on Linux, I keep wondering if Microsoft were to launch a new API let’s say direct X 15 but limit it to Windows Store Apps, and provided a way for the apps to be installed from other stores like steam could they in time kill modern Linux gaming.

Win32 is what basically all non MS store apps use. It's a bit old and bloated.
