Why? There's only one hypervisor involved for the initial "wine" environment.

Neither WINE nor WSLv1 use virtualisation. WSLv2 does use virtualisation however; but WINE still isn't a VM.

I was referring to WSLv2 here, so technically there is a hypervisor involved at the root level hosting the first WINE instance in the chain.

Further recursion WINE => Cygwin => WINE however will not require more nesting of hypervisors.
