Emacs is very good for editing text, but in order to count the number
of words in my article, I have to use the 'wc' command.
I feel like this should be integrated.
I would expect to be able to do M-x word-count-region and have it return
the number of words in the buffer or selection.

You already can do M-| wc RET, which is even shorter.

That solution depends on the platform. So, for example on Windows
doesn't work, because "ws" command doesn't exists.

No need to widen a region narrowed to (point-min) and (point-max)?

Those return the min/max of the narrowed buffer.
Another option than widening is just changing the doc string of
count-words-buffer.
