CD Projekt is a public company, which would likely be cautious in relying on complex third-party tools like Wine.
Most businesses rely on third party tools and software libraries. Particularly open source ones.
Yep, no public company would ever use Apache, nginx, AWS. Those are all 3rd party tools.
Valve isn't public, but they seem to be making plenty off of WINE. In fact, companies of all types love building on other projects, because it reduces how much work they need to do.
They just don't seem to care. They could literally hire someone who works on Heroic to make an official Galaxy port reusing most of Heroic's functionality. Yet they don't.
