WSL? Are you asking...is software for one operating system able to run on another operating system without installing a compatibility layer(if it exists)? If so, the answer is "no, of course not".

So how is this statement wrong for shell scripts? You can't write a shell script that "runs the same on Linux/Windows without forcing the user to download a runtime" because you can't write a shell script that runs on Linux/Windows.
