Can we trust Microsoft with open source?

Ok, this comment had me actually laughing out loud.

That said, the situation with W10+WSL reminds me a bit of the early days around OS X when we suddenly had a consumer grade desktop Unix experience. W10+WSL is clunkier, but trending in a decent direction.

With Windows 11 turning people off because it's forcing TPM-only hardware for both developers and users in general, I wouldn't be surprised if Windows 11 marks the final exodus for developers leaving for Mac and Linux.

You seem to think that devs are even able to decide what os they use...

Most corps I worked at had a specific setup I was required to use, which was generally windows.

If a big corp wants devs to start building for Windows 11, they're going to have to replace all/most machines given TPM 2 is kind of new.

It's further down the lock-in road, and if big corps want those handcuffs, good luck to them.
