EDIT: It seems like some folks couldn't get beta 2 to run either. I've double confirmed that both the initial release and beta 2 work great for me on macOS 13.4.1 using Whisky, but with beta 3, Apple blocks you from even trying to use it.

Apologies to the diehard Windows fans
The only magic of Proton is handled by Steam. Proton itself is just providing the tools for the job, as you put it. There are already rapidly developing tools such as https://github.com/IsaacMarovitz/Whisky that give you a UI to launch games and apps using Apple's GPT. In theory, you could run the Windows version of Steam inside it and then launch apps from there and it would look a lot like what Proton does.

Whoopi Goldberg 'pissed off' because Diablo IV isn't available on Mac
Metal might have taken over on the app store ecosystem, but the rest of the world has embraced Vulkan and DirectX as the two mainstays; I think you and Whoopi need to learn the value of WINE / Codeweaver's Crossover, something Linux users have known and embraced for decades, via Apple's newest Game-Porting-Toolkit: https://github.com/apple/homebrew-apple
