Not quite. When Windows is on a VM, you mostly run only Windows-specific software on it. Within the VM, everything works mostly flawlessly. Most platform-neutral software will be running on the Linux side, which makes accessing data from the Linux environment a non-issue.
And don't even get me started on Windows-1252 and CRLF line endings.
WSL2 still has some issues with VPN software and my company doesn't support it on my corporate Windows laptop.
