I don't think the comment you are responding to means that Oracle should make something like WSL. It is probably saying that WSL2 requires hyper-v to be enabled which prevents Virtualbox from running, and it would be good if Oracle had a workaround for this.

This. Vbox won’t run if Hyper-V is enabled, and Docker / WSL2 won’t work without Hyper-V. True for me on vbox 6.0.14, it just crashes the VM with a cryptic error. Workaround is not easy, hyper-v had a different feature set for networking and shared folders (not sure the latter is directly possible) as well as using different disk image formats.

Why would Oracle fix Microsoft's bugs and crappy implementation?

  That's _Intel's_ implementation - only one hypervisor may control Virtualization even on your beloved Linux e.g.: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/149416/run-avd-and-virtualbox-at-the-same-time https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/149416/run-avd-and-... or just search on how people can't run kvm and vbox at the same time.
