Really? Maybe I'm missing certain concepts about how executable files work, but these apps you're running are x86-based exe files, right? So there has to be some sort of emulation or conversion going on somewhere... unless these exes actually never send any sort of x86 instructions to Wine and only rely on libraries?

At least, the fact that Wine had to be coupled with QEmu for PPC Macs indicates that this has to happen. If you have somehow found a way to make Wine work on any processor architecture (or at the very least ARMs), that would suddenly make Wine a whole lot more portable.
