If Mac and Apple TVs become on par with Windows gaming, Mac and Apple TV will be the default choice for gaming.

I highly doubt that. Macs come with high resolution screens and relatively underpowered GPUs. They also come with their own graphics API (Metal) to deal with, as well as Rosetta2.

There are already forks out there that make playing games on macOS possible by porting the many Linux wrappers. I haven't seen any of them take off, really.

I expect that most people who own a Mac simply buy a console for gaming.

mac cant run many games with proton because its arm cpu is 64 bits only and steam needs 32 bits support
