Wine nowdays can run most apps flawlessly, same thing for wsl, so the end user decision depends on os specific apps ratio and how bad is the windows ui for him PS and also maybe antivirus tolerances, since there is no need for antivirus on windows.

Quite frankly, the difference here is that WSL is supported by Microsoft and it ensures compatibility with open source tools, while Wine is all about reverse engineering, it's not complete and every time an application gets updated it could completely break. Furthermore, performance and direct HW access are way more important in my DAW (where I make music and want to eliminate every ms of latency) than in my dev environment (at least to a certain degree).

Running a complex, resource-hungry DAW that needs direct and fast access access to audio hardware and features a demanding plug-in ecosystem on an emulation layer isn't a good idea.

Apps may run fine, but anything that interfaces with hardware is a crapshoot.
