The main target of Wine is x86 Linux not ARM macOS. MacOS doesn't support Vulkan and so that version of Wine is missing DXVK and Vkd3d for better game performance and support. It's a completely different experience.

Plus with Steam on Linux you don't need to run the Windows version of Steam at all. The native client will let you install Windows games using Proton (Valve's modified Wine essentially) by checking a box. Most stuff works very well and it's how the Steam Deck does it's thing. Some titles actually work better than they do on modern Windows like Jedi Knight II which has 3D acceleration support on Linux through Wine but not Windows 10 native.
