As per the linked FAQ,
What platforms will Sid Meier’s Civilization VII be available on?
Sid Meier’s Civilization VII will be available on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam (which also supports Mac and Linux) and the Epic Games Store.
The Steam store (preorder) listing shows all three platform icons so I’m guessing they’re not just talking about making it work with Proton.
No mention yet of Aspyr (who ported Civ 5 & 6) as far as I can see.
There are no mentions of dedicated ports to linux and mac, only that proton will be able to properly translate for them. That’s not the same thing.
Is that even an option on the Mac? And “Proton games” wouldn’t show the Mac and SteamOS platform icon on the Steam store.

Now whether all this is just a mix-up in this age of “Linux ports aren’t worth it and they always suck anyway”… maybe.
We’ll see if they actually create ports or just mean general compatibility through translation layers. Idk about proton on apples.
Where is that mentioned?
Literally the snippet posted by op.
What OP quoted doesn’t mention Proton at all and there is no Proton on Mac (at least built into the Steam client)
