For two reasons:
1)
Because of the history of OS/2. I guess if wine worked perfectly, no 
software manufacturer (Oracle, IBM ...) would have bothered to natively 
port their applications to GNU/Linux. If you were ever a OS/2 user, you 
would know what I mean. It was painfull to see that such a great OS and 
strong API existed, but that no developer was taking advantage of it. 
OS/2 showed, that being a better windows than windows, isn't the way to 
go. 

2)
I believe in free software. I guess the sole reason that I use GNU/Linux 
daily, is to get rid of those proprietary licenses. What's the point of 
running non-free software on GNU/Linux?

just my $0.02
