WINE is the foundation, but they added own stuff for their hardware.
Yes, they re-use tons of stuff from WINE. Yes, they should actively contribute back. But no, it's not just "normal WINE".
They are probably also using MoltenVK, something that Valve bought and made open-source. Otherwise it is probably just their old Rosetta x86 to ARM transition layer. WINE had x86 MacOS support for a long time already.
Why "bet"? It's all open source. Just take a look: https://github.com/apple/homebrew-apple
A 3.5 MB patch is more than "just normal WINE" though.
That is exactly what I mean: Leech off open-source projects, contribute back the bare minimum (and not even upstreamed) and then make a big announcement about the new "Apple Game Porting Toolkit"(tm).
