This is part of their Linux marketing plan. Make windows worse (challenging work!), and push people to Linux. End goal being irrelevance.

Very noble!

If Microsoft pushes people to Linux, I'm pretty sure it would be their Linux (WSL + strings attached), nothing that would benefit the true Linux community in any way.

WSL is hot garbage and shares most of the problems cygwin has of the impedance mismatch between the hosted programs being shunted off into their own badly implemented filesystem, and that of the host.
