  It is worth noting that this is a subset of the educational environment. Primary and Secondary schools may find this of limited value due to existing licensing agreements. I used to work in a province which licensed much of the educational software used by public schools and first nations schools (and the scope of licensing ranged from school computers only, to teacher computers, to student computers). While this would probably be addressable with time, the transition would be a rough one. Post secondary education is also a mixed basket. The majority of students may get by with a restricted range of software, yet many departments depend upon specialized applications. This would create barriers for students regardless of whether the software is Windows native (but not approved in Microsoft's store) or Unix software that can run in WSL. While this isn't a huge issue for students with their own computers, who can upgrade to for the nominal price, it is likely going to create many issues for institutions.
