I'm guessing the anti-cheat doesn't work as well on Linux, so they'll just kill the game on Linux entirely. Seems entirely reasonable, definitely.

I applaud Ubisoft for doing that R6 game, but personally I'm very unlikely to ever purchase/play it because of Ubi's stupid launcher policy. They've definitely missed out on some money from me because of their launcher and will continue to do so.

To be honest, having to open their own launcher at the same time is annoying, but not really a deal breaker. Me not trusting them is the biggest problem I face when thinking about buying one of their games.

I agree. Of course in practice, having a launcher implies the need to use their service, and it's the service I don't really trust. Ubisoft doesn't seem the stablest of companies with their challenges in the recent years, and if Ubisoft ever goes down, that doesn't bode well for their games either. Of course that's not even the only problematic scenario - they could, at any moment, decide having their own platform isn't worth it. It's not likely to happen, especially in the short term, but it could happen. I guess there's other issues as well, but those are the main ones, I think.
