Actually I would say that the majority of developers are working on 
features not directly related to games.

An open source project doesn't have "the goal" - it has many goals that 
suit the various parties contributing to development.
There's no reason why work can't be done to make business applications 
and games work at the same time.
If you have a strong interest/need to make business apps run, I'd 
suggest you hire developer(s) to work on the project.

I'm sure additional contributors are welcome :)

You're wrong - that's my primary reason for using wine (and my focus of 
development).
Therefore at least one person wants to run games.
