This won’t happen, there is a lot of industrial software that digs it’s fingers deep into windows subsystems that wine does not support.
Even popular commercial, like adobe, cannot run on wine correctly
At this point I’m not even sure Microsoft knows how some of those sub systems work, they just migrating ancient code bases and patching it enough to make it work again on the new compilers.
So windows kernel will exist untill everyone else leaves.
Move your workflow away from windows, if you can, as Microsoft doesn’t care enough about their userbase.

I’d be more inclined to believe that these things are so difficult (nearly impossible) to get to work under wine due to some eldritch connection deep into the bowels of windows subsystems so old that current devs don’t even know what they do… IF it weren’t for the fact that a lot of them have fully functioning MacOS versions out there running. Maybe I’m a conspiracy theorist, but I fully believe a LOT of these big commercial software companies are ACTIVELY working to fight their own software being compatible with Wine - actively spending time, money, and effort to block Linux compatibility (completely negating the usual answer of “it’s too expensive to support Linux when so few customers use Linux”).

This is why there’s still Windows XP running major systems.
Windows kept changing anyway so maybe it’s possible that’ll still happen and people just get left with legacy OSs
