Can somebody help explain why this is happening?

It doesn't look like I can install non linux games even though proton is enabled

In the Steam settings there's an option for "Enable Steam Play for incompatible games", is that turned on? I think it's a seperate option to just enabling Proton.

Did it work? Are you a falling titan yet?

Just to be sure. Are the options "Enable Steam Play for supported titles" and "Enable Steam Play for all other titles" in Steam Settings >> Compatibility both set?
First and only thing that came to mind. Maybe somebody has more ideas.

Edit: Whoa, seems I was late to the party.

You can try right clicking the title in your library and going to properties -> compatibility-> force compatibility and select your proton version of choice.

Titanfall 2 worked a-ok when i tried it a few weeks ago.

There is a setting (under compatibility if I had to guess) to enable proton for not officially supported games. That should enable you to play it.

Just enabled at all, or "allow proton for all games" enabled?

Maybe have a quick read through Gaming On Linux's Steam Play/Proton Guide - it covers quite a lot of stuff that might not be obvious initially.
