Fortnite uses both EAC and BattleEye, so it really isn’t that easy to integrate with their custom solution. Also, they have to test it to make sure no bugs are introduced. Afterall, it’s a multi-billion USD game.
But as we know, they really don’t care, so even if it was only a day of development time, they wouldn’t do it.
Just as a heads up, while they did drop the Linux client, unless it’s been changed very recently you can just use the Windows version through Proton/WINE and play that way.
Which isn’t an excuse for what they’ve done, I only mention it in case you or someone else didn’t already know.

At this point, they’ve invested more in not supporting Linux. This is after Linux decided to support Fortnite instead.
Sorry what is EAC?

Thank you kind sir :)
It’s just Tim Slimy being an absolute jackass
You surely need many dev to accomplish this horrendous task…

I don’t know enough about integrating multiple invasive anti-cheats in a single game, but it’s quite likely they have some custom glue.
The more important part is testing. No one wants to enable something without testing and they don’t care to do any work.
This is a poor excuse, they actively don’t support Linux: rocket league had a Linux version, which was dropped and now Linux players can’t play it

BattlEye is kernel rootkit and is not supported by proton. Guess why.
BattleEye is supported by proton
How? It is kernel-level. There is no windows kernel in proton.
EAC and BattleEye both run a userspace anticheat when used through Proton
