Isn't that basically what all binaries do? Use libraries and execute the code natively on the CPU?

Win32 binaries (when run on x86, unless you found an old Alpha binary
somewhere) _do_ run natively on the host CPU. Wine does not emulate the
CPU, it 'just' provides the execution environment (libraries, kernel calls)
a Windows binary expects. Program code that is not spent in libraries or
in the kernel is executed natively on the CPU.
