From the video,

"One thing that I think is clear at this point, is that the [...] traditional Wine to X11 server is becoming less and less relevant as time goes by, and I don't think it's going to be an important consideration in the long term."

I'm sure it'll still work for the next 20 years, but RIP DEs and other Unix OSes that don't move to Wayland by then. Wine was originally made to target X11, so the fact its willing to shift its base ideology so much shows that it's still a nimble project.
