Game developers no idea, application developers yes. TeamViewer and Softmaker Office are programs I ditched in frustration because their official Linux "ports" are the Windows versions bundled with a bugged WinE wrapper around them.

I think game developers are a bit of a unique case, because a large chunk of the linux gaming community is pretty hostile towards wine ports. There is no linux proprietary application community

Except in CAD, academic tools, analytics, mod/sim, graphics, industrial automation... basically anything that used to run on Unix or might use a fortran library somewhere.

The problem here is that Wine is buggy, not that application developers aren't all rewriting everything.
