Absolutely hilarious that we have reached a point where the most stable API for Linux apps is win32.

Reached? Win32 has been the most stable userspace ABI for Linux for more than a decade (or even 2?). Wine is a really old project and Win32 API / ABI has always been stable. The implementation of the API / ABI was very patchy earlier but the functions that defines the ABI has always been there, their signature and calling conventions are stable.
