Don’t you have to do that under windows too given WSL2 also runs as a VM?

no not in wsl2. (you can, but there is no need for that) (btw. disk storage can be too small, but that is the only problem that can occur https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/windows/wsl/compare-version...)

Actually that's done for you, whether you control it or not. WSL2 is essentially a VM with better host integration.

actually under hyper-v windows is a vm aswell, it's just not visible. it's the reason why the hyper-v hypervisor platform was needed.
