It's been about 13 years now.  Is any more debate on this needed?  Either this
bug or bug #14501 needs to be fixed.  I was going to file bugs regarding
xplorer2 and Double Commander encountering this problem before a forum member
pointed out this bug to me:

https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=25875

But I had trouble coming up with a valid use case that couldn't be covered by
drive mapping or the use of native Linux tools.  I didn't want to create more
work for the devs by requesting an unneeded feature so I asked on Reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/3x0qe2/unc_vs_drive_mapping_know_of_any_apps_or/

They couldn't come up with a good example that wasn't a bug workaround,
administration simplification, ease-of-use.  Other than the examples from 2009,
which may have been fixed or deprecated by now, there doesn't seem to be much
demand or need for UNC support.
