When it comes to production software, THATS what we need, native Linux apps, and WINE does not solve that issue

to add to your explanation, Steam can do that because games isn't a piece that change to much after launch, yes, mechanics is added, new maps, but not the SDK for example(it's more lucrative to launch a new game, like CS2, "same" game, but better engine) and steam games run on a "sandbox"(kind of) and Valve is a multimillionary company that is selling linux hardware and games, they have the money and resource, and they gonna gain money with that, if they make wine work in office they aren't going to receive anything, every penny is going to microsoft, that's why there isn't incentive to make it work

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
