As a desktop user, I barely touch wine. The vast majority of my
compatriots do not touch wine either on their desktop freebsd systems.
I do not think that you can apply 'most' to the claim. I think that
the linux compatibility layer (both 32-bit and 64-bit) is more
pressing. I used wine a long time ago to play starcraft. I stopped
playing, and stopped using wine. Haven't used it since.
