Why does Wine come with built-in clones of Windows software components such as Notepad, Wordpad, Internet Explorer, etc?
Generally because applications expect those to be present and try to directly start e.g. notepad or iexplore.
It should use the host platforms' native text editor, word processor and web browser.
It will at least try, provided mime types etc. are properly set up.
