I just tested Wine Staging and they fixed it. Yipee!!
wine-staging64-6.1-1.1.x86_64
And I just got word back that Softmaker 2021 (the paid
version) also overwrites links.
Win one, lose one.
Neither of the packages you cite are Fedora supplied packages.
I also seems as if, since you have a very generic ln example, that these foreign packagers
overwrite *all*
symbolic links no matter where they exist.
Besides, your ln example without any context gives this as the result
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ ln -s xxx yyy
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ file yyy
yyy: broken symbolic link to xxx
