You may be right about that (though I think you'd get some pushback from members of the WSL team, especially since you can bring bring own distro to your WSL instance.)

Given today's cloud connected world (where Macs, PCs, and VMs need to integrate on a daily basis), it seems overly silly (to me) to be overly pedantic about such things.

From a practical standpoint, the observed results remain the same. If we're going to help people with the problems they see, I think we should learn as much as we can about the tools they use.

That's my take; you're perfectly free to disagree.
