WSL (and Docker) makes Windows now kind of the most versatile development platform. You can natively develop for Windows, Linux and Android. With .NET you have limited macOS and iOS development capabilities. And you have the benefit, that Windows is the de-facto standard for desktop software, so everything will just run there. All games, all commercial software, also the software your company bought 15 years ago and is still working.
