Doesn't that require actually extending and extinguishing, though?

WSL1 was a proprietary reimplementation of the Linux system call ABI as an NT subsystem. WSL2 is actual Linux running in a VM. That seems to be moving in exactly the opposite direction.

Exactly. There are so many things different about today's MSFT. Another example is Linux support on Azure. People love their tin foil hats though.
