That's exactly what is going to happen. Hopefully I'm wrong, but I'm afraid we'll soon also see software advertised as running "better" under WSL than Linux.

It could be even more problematic than that. With windows drivers supporting a windows ABI, that becomes a Linux ABI under WSL. Kinda puts a wrench in the Linux no-ABI philosophy...
