I agree with 5.1 headsets and other stuff. But if movies or games (where it is implemented) are designed directly for Dolby atmos, for example, would you call that fake? Sure, tools like easyeffects work differently, but they only want to simulate it regardless of whether it is implemented or not. Of course it won't come close to the original, but it doesn't have to. With my Nubert XS-4000 RC or the Denon AH-D5200 I don't falsify the sound either, but I don't denigrate such tools for no reason.
The programs do not present themselves as anything else. The aim is to manipulate the original sound. But to call that cheating or fake, you would also have to treat the graphics in the same way. In other words, max. settings and nice with motion blur and pretty sunbeams so that you don't notice anything else, etc. Turning the settings down or deactivating them would be cheating/faking.
So if people wanna use it just let them use it.
Game's well have great cinematic sound but doesn't mean it's the best choice. As example CS,Rainbow Six Siege etc you would prefer hearing clear steps. So someone else with "bad" sound could hear you walking while you couldn't hear him.
The software etc. continues to run. But as an official project of the state, Limux is dead and so are the subsidies etc. How far it will still be maintained is questionable. However, this does not mean that the topic of Linux and Open Source has become irrelevant. But even now, with the future plans, I strongly assume that something like this will happen again. But who cares.. But it's only the taxpayer who has to pay for it anyway...
For the downvoters. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LiMux
