Why wouldn't people be dual booting in 2024? Because of WLS?

Why would it stop being a thing?
I've had dual-booted until a couple of years ago, when i decided to ditch Windows for good, since i wasn't playing videogames, and the few i may wanted to play were playable on Steam. If i had needed Windows for a specific videogame or program, i would still be dual-booting today.
