Ubuntu in WSL comes with systemd enabled. Debian doesn't, and you have to enable it yourself.
That's why I chose to have people use Ubuntu in WSL, despite the other downsides. One less step to setup a Linux environment on Windows makes the process smoother.
That's a fair enough reason. I personally never noticed because the "this isn't running" message is pretty clear to me. But I can see how that's a potential blocker for newer Linux users.
