Because? What advantages does it offer?

  Read Windows Internals. It's a very different design from Linux. Worth learning about another approach to operating systems if you're at all interested. WNT evolved (spiritually) from VMS and has a lot of unique things in its structure. Note also that Windows already kind of is a perfectly serviceable Linux kernel through WSL. That's one of the unique things about NT - it was designed for binary compatibility for programs written for several distinct systems.

    This compatibility layer approach is quite common. Solaris Linux Branded Zones and FreeBSD Linux Emulation Layer (now defunct?) also did the same thing.
