You can start an X server on Windows and let WSL use it. I've used some GUI programs via Xming in the past. It's fairly simple:

I’m not sure where that belief came from because it absolutely does.

Software compositing, so you’re limited to what is practical but that’s very useful for a lot of things.

By itself no. But you can run an X Server just like you have on Linux machines, and start graphical applications that use it.
