If Windows Update replaced components of Wine, that would (a) break people's Wine installs, and (b) give those users a way to legally get Microsoft's versions of those components for use outside of Windows.

Microsoft’s EULA would still apply to (b).

It’s the exact same situation as downloading a Windows ISO from Microsoft’s website and running it with an activator.
