What is wine primarily used for today?

Gaming, as a basis for Valves Proton.

Cool. I thought it's all Steam right now? Is that a stupid question?

Steam uses Proton under the hood which is based on wine. From the repo

Proton is a tool for use with the Steam client which allows games which are exclusive to Windows to run on the Linux operating system. It uses Wine to facilitate this.
