WSL2 _is_ a dedicated virtual machine for Linux on Windows. It runs under Hyper-V.

That was wsl1, wsl2 is much tighter integrated than just thinking of it as a VM running in hyper V.

WSL 1 was not a virtual machine. It was a re-implementation of the Linux kernel API within the Windows kernel. As such, it's probably more comparable to CoLinux (if that's still a thing).
