Wine has no guest operating system. It just has Windows system calls.
Rather surprisingly to me, the Korg nanoKontrol configuration program
works under Wine, so Wine maps a sufficient number of Windows APIs to
the Linux USB stack to have this work.
In contrast, comparable Windows utilities for Firewire executables are
just dead. Obviously Firewire's mindshare died faster than the efforts
of the Wine developers turned to attacking rather tricky tasks.

Badly phrased. Furthermore, guest's drivers can't replace host drivers.
Your operating system still is Linux, whatever your emulation, virtual
machine, container might provide as a guest operating system. Maybe the Focusrite ASIO driver can't work
inside wine.
Again, host operating system vs guest operating system. An emulated
windows inside a Linux host depends on the Linux host's drivers. Some
software might work, if the host doesn't grab the device, so
blacklisting the Linux related module might be a partial solution for
accessing some features by the guest's software, however, a driver
installed to a Windows guest has got no impact to the abilities of the
host drivers.
