There are a lot of people who have biases against using non-native apps on Linux, weirdly. I've run into this even with highly technical people, who just won't believe that something under wine can be just as good (certainly as far as a person can tell) as a native app, and refuse to use them. Usually I end up having to find them a native alternative.

If it is a business scenario, in my experience it is typically because of support contracts as opposed to just "does it work or not". For example, QuickBooks may run just fine with Wine (not sure, haven't checked), but it would forfeit your ability to access QuickBooks Support personnel. For businesses without a dedicated IT department (or just a small one), this may be a deal breaker.
