And MS has the Linux Subsystem in Windows to run Ubuntu Linux binaries and is open source, so?

  The Linux Subsystem in Windows is NOT open source. So what if they can run Ubuntu? So can VirtualBox! And yes, I know the difference between virtualization and syscall emulation.

    You are right, is not open source (yet), but you still can tun Linux binaries.

      > (yet) You seem hopeful of a thing few people are hopeful of. > you still can tun[sic] Linux binaries That does not make a platform open. Also note that you can't run all Linux binaries. In this respect, my original comparison with VirtualBox gets even better, since with VirtualBox I can run whatever edition of Linux I want, with graphics and total, absolute control, and a faster filesystem.
