alt Hacker News>OS/2 already proved out this path of [full] compatibility.
it is not the 1980s anymore. majority of apps are for better or worse in the browser or cross platform with electron.
Wine is merely a stepping stone for adoption because some software compatibility is a hard requirement for user to even considered another platform as an alternative, without these user there won't be any native development to begin with proven by the failure of the original steam machine.
As a developer, why target Linux in all it's permutations with an unstable ABI when I can target the only stable Linux ABI -- Win32?
If WINE fills the gap (and it largely does), there's zero reason to create native Linux builds. That's simply more bugs and more headaches for devs.
