Depends on how much Microsoft decides Windows Store and XBox App are relevant for game developers targeting the PC going forward.

They can't stop publishers from targeting steam/proton, though. The publishers will go to where the market is. Sure maybe they can restrict the version published to whatever store windows has but they can't prevent the one distributed with steam targeting an older version.
