I would draw the opposite conclusion from the WSL1 attempt.

It was a strategy that failed in practice and needed to be replaced with a vm based approach.

The Linux kernel have a huge surface area with some subtle behavior in it. There was no economic way to replicate all of that and keep it up to date in a proprietary kernel. Specially as the VM tech is well established and reusable.
