Yeah, it's very confusing. I've heard it explained but I still think it doesn't really make sense. The core of the argument that I've heard is that Windows has multiple subsystems so they say it's a "Windows Subsystem", but the 'for' in "For Linux" still makes no sense. The arguments for not calling it something like "Linux Subsystem [for/on/in] Windows" don't seem to match up with the fact that there used to be a similar thing which was called "Microsoft POSIX Subsystem" also.
