This seems like a very naive view to me. This attack on Wine is by extension an attack on Linux, or otherwise I don't understand it. Wine exists for convenience for Linux users to use Software that has not been made available on Linux.
Some advantages of Linux:
* Can choose from a variety of window managers to suit your needs, from windows-like (Chalet, Zorin), to developer focussed (eg i3)
* Linux is free. Windows 10 isn't, unlike you claim. Unless I'm been mislead, the Windows 10 for-free offer was simply an ugrade for existing Windows installs; not a free to all offering. It's therefore unavailable unless you've already 'bought-in' to the Microsoft ecosystem.
* Linux has had updating figured out for years and lets you update in the background. Windows still pesters you do reboot.
* Package managers are a much more efficient way to download and install software than any way I have seen on Windows.
Some disadvantages of Windows 10:
* Bundled with a lot of bloatware (from what I have seen)
* Tracking / selling user data (PII? Not sure.)
* Ads on the start menu
Plus, with the existence of Linux, at least Microsoft doesn't have a full monopoly over the PC OS market. That said, I'd rather have myself be nestled firmly in the hands of a community than a corporation.
I still wonder why Windows exists when Linux is such an excellent OS. /s
