I would bet money that it was because of games that aren't on steam.

Perhaps, but many people don't realize that "Add Non-Steam Game" also gives you a Proton prefix on Linux, as if it were a Steam game. Can be used for non-DRM games or even another launcher and keep everything relatively tidy.

And theres lutris, which has automated scripts for tons of games to install non-steam games and set them up properly to run.
