IMO, under the EU’s new DMA (Digital Markets Act), Microsoft should be forced to open-source the Win32 and DirectX APIs under the BSD or GPL license, so WINE or OS’s directly can simply adopt the actual Windows API’s code and achieve 100% compatibility with Windows apps and games. This could be considered similar to Apple being forced to use USB-C connectors on iPhones to enable the use of non-Apple chargers, and Microsoft is definitely acting as a “gatekeeper” in this area, given many people’s understandable reluctance to switch due to games in WINE having about a 20% chance of not working that doesn’t exist in Windows.
