While they target an older driver API, the userspace is mostly Wine's, so it is much easier for them to support recent software.
In fact, for the last 10-15 years, Wine itself to some extent is written against Windows kernel APIs such as ntdll.dll, and only the lowest levels talk to the host OS and wineserver. This means that ReactOS can keep also some of Wine's lower level DLLs, such as kernel32.dll, as long as there is something below them.
