Yes, as they require a significantly less amount of stuff you need to deal with. WINE needs to implement vast amounts of Windows APIs to make something like .net work, while cosmopolitan limits you to low-level C (and things built on it, like lua) at compile time.

You can build very little with the C Standard Library alone, wouldn't you agree? Things like graphics, anything beyond the most rudimentary I/O, etc - are not a part of the C Standard Library.
