The point about the WSL doesn't really hold as a con - the NT kernel is a microkernel so it uses subsystems by design. Iirc there's even a hypervisor running below it by default. Architecturally Windows is absolutely marvelous, they just decided to make about the worst out of it.

I think you're missing my point. I'm not saying WSL is a con, I'm saying that the reason Microsoft ships a Linux subsystem is that there are useful programs and things that can be done with Linux.
