I can confirm EAC boots up and the main menu (or rather the “Playtest not live yet” thingy) is visible, so I’m positive they enabled Linux EAC. However it sounds like they don’t have QA set up for Proton-on-Linux yet so they simply do not know if it will work out.
So… it’s not supported, but might just work good enough.
So it works but they don’t have a process in place to ensure it works. That doesn’t meet their standard for official support and so they retracted their claim that they support Linux via Proton. But they also made clear that they plan on getting that process in place.

That’s honestly the best possible position.
