Yes Microsoft does have an incentive to make a POSIX dev env available on their OS and also make the experience of using it not suck.
I'm curious as to why they didn't just purchase https://x410.dev/ and integrate that into WSLv2 as it has hidpi support already too. Also If Microsoft is able to get GPU compute working with native performance I would absolutely switch back from M1 mac.

One difference is that this is based on Wayland, whereas X410 is based on X11. The Linux desktop is currently undergoing a (very) slow transition from X11 to Wayland.
