How to activate Origin/EA App games on Linux?

I have 2 games in my library that require the EA App to be used: Star Wars Squadrons and STAR WARS™ Battlefront™ II: Celebration Edition

I installed the EA App using the

Add Game

Add Game

feature but the games do not show up there.

I'm trying things with the

legendary activate

legendary activate

command but nothing I try seems to make the games appear in the EA App

From the documentation and the output of Legendary, I understand I need to run this:

/my/path/to/legendary activate --origin --wine /some/path/Wine-GE-Proton7-34/bin/wine --wine-prefix "/home/user/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/EA App/"

/my/path/to/legendary activate --origin --wine /some/path/Wine-GE-Proton7-34/bin/wine --wine-prefix "/home/user/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/EA App/"

with the specific values for Wine and prefix that were used to install the EA App in the prefix that has the EA App

This is the output I get from legendary:

[Core] INFO: Trying to re-use existing login session...
[cli] INFO: Found 2 game(s) to redeem:
[cli] INFO:  - STAR WARS:tm: Battlefront:tm: II: Celebration Edition
[cli] INFO:  - Star Wars Squadrons
[cli] INFO: Note: Legendary does not know which of these have already been activated. Proceeding will result in it attempting to activate all of them.
[cli] INFO: If Origin asks you to install the title rather than to activate, it has already been activated, and the dialog can be dismissed.
[cli] INFO: On non-Windows systems the automatic portion of this process does not work yet, please use the launch commands listed below together with --wine/--wine-prefix to specify the wine binary to use and the prefix where Origin is installed.

But then the games are not there when I check in the EA App.

I tried with the EA App running and closed, same output, no games. I tried setting specific app names to activate only one, same.
