For most stuff wine is working better than on Windows. Thats why people actually import wine drivers to their real Windows install

for Deus Ex Randomizer, we include the DXVK DLLs as part of the Windows installation automatically, because it runs better and smoother and with less issues

(we run vulkaninfo to check compatibility first, we check support for VK_KHR_maintenance6 or Vulkan 1.4 or newer, otherwise you don't get DXVK)

So why dont any of my apps work then? Im super happy gaming is about 85% working, but in the apps space its got to be less that 40%

The funding (valve paying crossover devs) has the focus on games, almost nobody is purchasing crossover for apps
