The NT kernel itself has fallen from one of the best kernels technologically to significantly behind Linux. The design is still solid, but after tens of years of under-investment and little internal political willingness to make substantial improvement (they're a very conservative company at heart) it has just been allowed to rot. I think WSL (V1 and V2) has been showcasing just how bad it has become. From locking issues, to small file performance, to scheduler problems, and beyond. Everyone said Microsoft would never dump the Trident rendering engine either (used in IE/Edge/WebUI Controls). And that was true, until it wasn't. They may not move to Linux tomorrow, but ten years from now as NT continues to get little love, and Linux sails ahead? We'll see...
