I really wish Microsoft doesn't discontinue wsl1 and instead develops it further to make it the "Wine" equivalent (for running Linux apps on Windows without emulation or virtualization).
Wsl2 relies on a hypervisor (i.e. it has to run a Linux VM underneath) so running docker apps on Windows comes with all kinds of problems from poor performance to file permissions being messed up.
A mature wsl1 would be able to run almost any Linux app on Windows natively.
