Linux is being taken over by the corporate and relegated to servers, containers.
Corporate is trying to move Linux from bare metal on your computer to a part of a proprietary system. Do you think Microsoft's WSL, Samsung's DeX or Google Chrome OS's Project Crostini are done in good faith? No. They encourage giving the user the Linux tool they want to use, but whole they stay within the bounds of a Proprietary enviroment they have control over.
A key part of Linux is giving users control of their computer. It's a piece of software that is completely user-centric. It's designed to be better for you, not for some corporate. Now that it's getting more popular, OF COURSE big corporations are getting scared and are trying to tempt you to stay in / come back to their systems by giving you the option to run Linux within their Proprietary system.
But that's not Linux. You don't have control. You just have access to more programs that wouldn't run on your Proprietary system, but that's it.
I hate WSL and don't think it's related to this issue at all. I use it often because one of my workstations runs Windows, but that's about it. Linux isn't quite being moved to the proprietary, though for some reason Microsoft tries to integrate with it. Does it matter? To me (IMO) it does not. I think it's great, because it allows people to consider Windows again for that kind of work, which.. drumrolls please... Some people have.
