After all - Linux > programs run from /bin, not /home/username/bin Because in the setup you propose, an ordinary user wouldn't be able to install programs just like that. Also, many windows programs expect write permissions to their own directory. In your setup, this would require either ACLs or really awkward constructs. It is possible, it just doesn't make sense for most of the wine users.
