How does this extend their walled garden? They want to capture Linux/MacOS users with that development.

Enticing developers to use their platform isn’t “extending their walled garden.” In a healthy free market, competition is good. Microsoft is encouraging using Linux, just through a VM instead of dual booting (or even removing Windows).

Vendor lock-in, OTOH, would be a valid criticism. But again, this is not that.
