Even today, Blizzard games tend to run pretty easily on Wine. I always attributed it to them using a fairly old tech stack, but maybe it's the reverse and Wine development has just continued to go above and beyond for those games.

I know WoW is aware that's it's running in Wine. There are some setting greyed out in game with a message of not compatible when running in Wine.

It was mostly on purpose, that Blizzard games worked well in Wine. We even fixed a few things in our code from time to time that accidentally made Wine emulation hard.
