None.

The point is how many people care about running Linux in a VM (which is all WSL2 is) on Windows instead of running a native Unix operating system? Out of those that do care about running Linux, what is the practical difference between running Linux in a VM on Windows and Linux on a VM on Macs?

Apple doesn’t put time and effort into making Linux on a VM feel at home on macOS.

It doesn’t have to. How does WSL feel “more at home” than the third party VM solutions available for Macs?
