There is a even simpler reason:
A lot of people gaming of Linux are either software developers or system administrators.
People buying a "Linux gaming system" are the rare exception, instead it's often "buy a powerful computer for use case X, and hey why not go for a slightly better/tweaked spec and also also game on it".

I'm a programmer and this is exactly what I do.
