I use WSL2 a lot because my current employer is a "Microsoft" shop (despite all the code being deployed in Linux containers).

For us developers, the changes in Windows to support WSL2 weren't really an enhancement of Windows, it's now just a really complicated way to run Ubuntu. As in, Windows 11 is the biggest Linux bootloader in history.

sudo for Windows...can't even see a use for it any more.

WSL 1 is allowed luckily, but it's kinda meh
