If history is any indication, this will not only cause problems with WINE on Linux, but also once people have upgraded to newer Windows versions, which would cause problems with older software written like this.
It's typical how it's mostly DRM and anti-cheating software that relies on such shenanigans. All examples of pointless client-side security.

Right now the best solution seems to be a ZFS FreeBSD solution for actual work and a separate SSD with WIndows 10 installed for games.

I just pointed out to the people going "%*(@ BSD, only Linux matters" that the Wine project's mission statement disagrees with them. It's like they forgot why wine exists at all.
