After thinking about these wrappers and how useless they are, I've retracted that opinion and I have to say that they're much more important because of what developers are used to, especially with legacy BS from Windows.

It's going to take time until devs begin making actual native games, because now they have good reason to do so, especially when there's SteamOS coming out. Current gen games are GOING to be wrappers, don't expect too much for the time being as Windows STILL has that monopoly on the desktop, mostly because of businesses and work related stuff. As long as games still run on x86 processors and Windows, enthusiasts/gamers will still run Windows.
