    The problem is bureaucratic: Using them with Wine is not the manufacturers intent, so it may break for a while and theres nothing the manufacturer will do to fix it. The companies of the users often don’t dare rely on this. It’s also why some companies require to use redhat or ubuntu for a distro, because they don’t dare running anything without a support contract. They think that way there’s someone external to blame, call for help or sue, if things break. I’m not a fan of this, but encountered it a few times on different jobs. At my current job one of our clients has this with redhat and tbh they actually had to call redhat support twice this year, because their server got messed up during upgrades.
