Wine opens many new usecases. You realize the software rot myth was created by bad API deprecation pratices.
Think how different the market becomes when consumers can keep using a 12 years old license. You need to introduce fantastic new features to get my money. Changing the font, the menu and the colors won't do.
Even if it is free - why should I bother to learn this new software? The old license did cost me $5. If I misplace it, I can buy another for the same amount instead of paying year to year. And to this day it works reliably on every operating system I use.
