Native VST plugins are realized on OSX because the authors actually
wrote and compiled the VST *for* OSX.

For example, the people at meldaproduction.com actually write and test
their plugins for Windows and for OSX.  They then release both
versions for purchase.

There are native VSTs for Linux as well, but the offering is really a
joke.  The market for audio effects and instruments on Linux is still
small. Therefore, not many software companies will bother with the
time and expense to create, publish, and support this software on
Linux.

LMMS's use of Wine is a means to bridge this gap and allow commercial
VSTs written in Windows to be used in Linux.
