Blizzard says the update aims to resolve glitches introduced by modern operating systems.

    Microsoft is taking Linux seriously as a server platform, in which it has a significant presence and market share. Game developers target client machines, in which Linux has a very tiny market share (under 1% according to Steam). It's the same reason fewer developers bother making apps for Windows Phone, yet Microsoft itself is targeting iOS and Android with its own apps. Developers go where the market is.
