I would far, far rather have Windows-only software that is performant than the Electron slop we get today. With Wine there's a decent chance I could run it on Linux anyway, whereas Electron software is shit no matter the platform.

Wine doesn't even run Office, there's no way it'd run whatever native video stack Teams would use. Linux has Teams purely because Teams decided to go with web as their main technology.

Even the Electron version of Teams on Linux has a reduced feature set because there's no Office to integrate with.

Of course Wine can run office! At least Word and Excel I have used under Wine. They're probably some of the primary targets of compatibility work.
