How to disable Proton?

I don't want to (even accidentally) be counted as a Windows user, neither do I want to support "just build a Windows version, Linux users can run that too". That's how developers treated OS/2, and look where that got them.

You are not counted as windows user if you are playing games with Proton as long you are using official Steam client for Linux, if you are using Steam for windows and running it with WINE then (i think) you are counted as windows user
