Could Microsoft destroy Linux gaming by using the windows store

So as we know Windows Platform Apps and WinUI3 apps do not work on Linux, I keep wondering if Microsoft were to launch a new API let’s say direct X 15 but limit it to Windows Store Apps, and provided a way for the apps to be installed from other stores like steam could they in time kill modern Linux gaming.

90% of the time apps would not even install or update for me. It was immensely annoying if I wanted to just send a quick message on WhatsApp, but I had to update, and then the update didn’t work. It just gets stuck on 99% completed for eternity.
