Correct me if I'm wrong, but this article makes it sound like WSL might be taking notes from WINE. It's Not an Emulator, because that would be slow and error-prone. Instead, it finds a way to abstract the appropriate functionality within the existing system.
Talk about irony. But I share the author's desire to see WSL share resources transparently between the W and the L. USB serial devices are a good example: it took forever for WSL1 to sort of support them, and it's still spotty with WSL2.
This is an area where WSL could be very appealing: many embedded workflows rely on one or two legacy Windows applications, but most of the core tooling works fine in Linux. But if you can't easily pass your USB debugger between OSes, you can't easily split your workflow across OSes.
