Kind of. But from a userland perspective, Cygwin is a (very slow and complicated) layer between the application and the kernel, whereas WSL1 really is (and importantly, feels) like just another API for the exact same kernel. That's kind of its entire advantage over Cygwin, so I wouldn't really compare them like that.
