Why this patch couldn't be moved to main branch? It's stable. It doesn't brokes anything. It have clear and short code.
Because it's a hack specific to this one game. Nothing in Wine should be coded to act differently for one specific program, or you end up with hundreds (if not thousands) of unmaintainable workarounds.
