Personally, it's because Linux is a wonderful development environment that meets my needs better than windows. Plus emacs (and most linux-first editors, for that matter) is lightyears faster on wsl than on the native windows builds. The only issue is with WSL I'm limited to console apps, so if I want to build an OpenGL or Vulkan or GUI project, I have to use Visual Studio or VSCode if I want a good development experience, and even then, it's not quite as comfy. I can only hope that with better GUI support comes some kind of GPU passthrough, but a woman can only hope.
