That was how OS/2 lost. After Windows became more popular they marketed themselves as being a better way to run Windows, and at the time it was true, it was more stable, did proper multitasking etc. But, people didn't care. OS/2 didn't actually provide any real features, and there wasn't much OS/2 software out there so it didn't take long until it was irrelevant. Granted, in the case of WSl things are less obvious, but Windows really needs a hook to keep developers in. But all I see is new features allowing you to run GUI software in WSL as well. As someone who has disliked Microsoft since a few years long time, it's amusing to see how the things changed.
