One case where requiring SSE2 in i386 PE code is a bit annoying is for running tests on old HW, which is sometimes very useful. In what cases would it make sense to test Wine on a Pentium 3 or older? Perhaps there are some, but personally, I struggle to imagine them. Testing ddraw behavior on a contemporary OS on real HW is the usual example. Not a super common use case, but it's known to have happened (and to have been useful) a number of times.
