Arc Raiders players be like:

It’s not that Wine runs things as an administrator, Wine emulates the Windows virtual filesystem by creating and using a directory in your home (by default), which means you own the entire thing;

with Windows, if you have a separate drive and *you* create a folder in it, even if you call it “Program Files”, it’s going to let you access it freely because it’s yours.
However, the existing Program Files folder in your OS drive (C: by default, idk if you can change its volume letter) is owned by… I have no idea, actually, but it’s a system account, not yours.

The last paragraph may be inaccurate, I was much less tech literate when I was still daily-driving Windows.

They need admin privileges to write to directories such as C:/Program Files, if I had to guess - I didn’t need privileges when installing Halo: Combatevolved Butworse on Linux
