I would assume Steam to be lower because gaming was one of the major roadblocks for gaming until recently, and many gamers are still scared of switching over. It also assumes no dual booting and whatever they ran the check on is the registered OS. This would register both potentially.
Team’s data is also useful, but it’s different data.
I dual boot. I use Linux most of the time for everything, but I switch to Windows whenever I want to play on Steam. I just don’t have the time to bother with abstractions layers, drivers and whatnot, even if I read that Steam makes it easy to run Windows games on Linux now.
Have you tried it yet? Try installing Proton on your Linux install and pointing Steam to your existing folder that you use on Windows. It should be able to just boot them up like that without an issue.
Maybe. It’s unlikely except for multiplayer, and even then pretty rare. The Riot games won’t work because of the rootkit, but nearly everything else has. Protondb.com if you want to check or ever need help getting something to run.

I tried in the past, but I think there were problems about the fact that the Windows partition is NTFS, if I recall correctly.
I’d really like to ditch Windows once for all, but I’m sure there’s going to be some games that have problems on Linux.

if you make a symlink to your linux installation compdata folder in your windows steamapps folder you can use NTFS for a steam library.
I use it to have my other NTFS drives still be able to hold steam games
