You are missing all the OS DLLs, COM and WinRT components, .NET libraries, that are covered by Windows EULA.
Also the ones downloaded directly via Windows Update from Microsoft servers.

That's not how copyright law works in the slightest.
You can absolutely download a file from Microsoft's website and run that file on Wine and Microsoft cannot get a judge to hold you to any "license terms" elsewhere on that website. I am not your lawyer and this is not legal advice, you are just a moron if you think otherwise.
Furthermore, I also don't think Microsoft would claim otherwise! But you are still welcome to prove me wrong by providing just _one_ example on their website of a license that you think could force me to do anything at all, because of a DLL _you_ can give to me (aka "a redistributable")
