They closed a bug from 2005, respect.

That's funny because it's about installing Office 97, and if you used Office 97 today you probably wouldn't miss anything from 27 years of new versions. So the use case is still there!

Do steamdeck games use wine or are they native Linux ports?

They use their own variant of wine (https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton)

Many are native, many use Proton.
