Proton is literally just the windows compatibility layer and doesn’t “work best for what the Deck is designed as”.
It’s not possible to make a Steam Deck equivalent product with Windows, therefore there is no alternative to Proton for making a equally compelling product.
Feel free to say that about SteamOS, sure.
SteamOS is part of the product that is Steam Deck.
