My guess: Wine is not a product so it's not targeted to anyone. It's a 
community project developed by volunteers - and the primary priority of 
those volunteers is to get Wine to run the applications they want to 
use. Since there are many nice free & libre cross-platform alternatives 
to the MS office suite there is just not much incentive to get it to run 
or keep it running. Games OTOH...
