It must have to do with the lack of profitability, especially after developing an anti-cheat solution.
I'm not 100% certain if EasyAntiCheat supports Wine at all, or even Linux at all, but that's what they (Epic Games) use. If not, they'd have to write an in-house solution that probably won't work.
In the past (again, I'm not sure about the present), CS:GO was victim to having a Linux client; rather, people figured out that it was much more vulnerable to exploits due to it not having a working anti-cheat solution.

It does. EAC detects Wine, and can load a Wine version if the developers enable it. There have also been a few cases where they enabled it upon player requests (without dev involvement).
