or their accountants have done the sums and realised its not worth their effort vs reward.

Same reason why Disney likes to lose money.

Because CEO's are shortsighted and out of touch with reality. A good product for a reasonable price always makes for a profitable venture, but that is lost to them.

Sadly Linux is underrated, and underused, there is the explanation

CEOs are encouraged with big bonuses for being shortsighted

Probably because of their anti cheat that while it wont wont stop cheaters, it does stop linux users from playing at all sadly
