For those who want a TL;DR, Codeweavers are working on their own version of FEX, a program to run Windows Games on ARM. It is believed to be used on Valve's Steam Frame and that Valve is actively helping development.

It's so frustrating to me that Apple doesn't address some of this themselves, in ways only a 1st party can.

So much potential being left untouched.

Apple has consistently ignore gaming on the Mac. I know they've made some improvments to metal and what not, but overall its been a tepid response.

Now playing the devil's advocate, I can see why Apple doesn't invest in a wine implementation. There's no money in it for them. Unlike Crossover which gets a subscription, apple won't see any $$. Also no revenue from the MAS given that its a windows game being played. There's no financial upsides,

I will pushback a little here in that I think there is huge upside in way more interest in Macs overall.

I know more than a few people who would spend more money on better and more powerful Macs (or Macs at all!) that otherwise goes to their Windows builds.
