A lot of work places need to keep their workstations on Windows for mdm and security compliance etc, or the IT staff does not have the bandwidth to add another OS for their developers and keep it compliant. Installing an app to run a Linux environment in userspace is easier than getting everything supported on bare metal workstations.

It’s pretty damn brilliant. Install Docker CD in WSL and Docker CLI on Windows with Chocolatey and get Linux devcontainer VS Code workspaces locally.
