Its not easy to "port" the OS/2 situation to the modern world. It as much possible to "run" windows software on linux with wine as it is possible to run linux software on windows with wsl. Of course, since "linux api" is open/public/floss, wsl may have an advantage in compatibility. What is hard to determine is which side this advantage will benefit.

The latest version of WSL is a hypervisor running the Linux kernel. WSL1 was the real subsystem where they copied the kernel API.

I wonder if windows abi is not public, how people develop softwares on it? If it's public, why wine is not perfect?
