Intel was actually including Wine code in their Arc graphics drivers to translate DirectX 9 calls to Vulkan, because they didn't have performant native DirectX 9 drivers. It's a pretty common trick for Arc users to drop the latest DXVK DLL into the directory of a game that is having issues with the graphics card.
Using Wine DLLs is also a good way to resurrect games built on the obsolete DirectDraw API on modern versions of Windows.
