I know there was a version release recently. In a few months I'll have more time, so I'll try again..
I would sure like it to work...

I wonder how long it's been since you tried it? I don't have all the games you mentioned, but I did just fire up Skyrim (Elder Scrolls V) and it works fine. But you have a different hardware setup so it's hard to say whether things would be better now for you.

Proton I think still has to be explicitly enabled if one wants to play Windows games; maybe that's where the confusion lies?

I don't think so, I'm running Bazzite on an 10yo ASUS G20CB with nVidia GTX980 and Steam games just install and run with zero fiddling, Steam automatically installs and uses the right runtime/proton for the game, although I think you can change which version is used in the launcher shortcut for the game in steam. To the OPs point I installed Fallout 4 last night and played for an hour with no issues, ultra settings, buttery smooth, as easy as a console.
