Wine is a much bigger target and threat than ReactOS (and ReactOS uses a lot of code from Wine) since unlike ReactOS, Wine can use the latest drivers and hardware via Linux. Also unlike ReactOS, Wine has been pushed a lot by companies like Valve explicitly so that people can move away from Windows.
Also if it is found that someone did indeed copy code from Windows, then they can simply replace that code. This isn't the first time such an accusation would happen to open source software - even the Linux kernel was targeted like that, yet you do not see people saying that the writing is on the wall for Linux because anyone can contribute to it.
