I think WSL is a result from the work Microsoft did to run Android apps on Windows. If I'm not mistaken, they decided to scrap that because of this issue, if developers can target Android and run on Windows mobile, why would they target Windows?

I don't think that will be an issue with GUI programs on computers, but it might for CLI programs.

The apps still needed to be recompiled, because Google Play services weren't ported. The iOS bridge is still supported.
