Most likely your software will work via bottles or wine

No, for the examples above it will not. Quite a lot of professional software will not run under wine - games work particularly well because they mostly do their own thing and depend less on Windows-specific APIs. And if you use a VM via Winboat then you're just using Windows in the background, which is a workaround, but kinda defeats OP's argument that there's "no difference".
