Didn't realise WSL used systemd now - for a long time it had its own init system.

  yeah, I finally (for last month or so) can have LXD based Virtual Environments right in my WSL - saves me from using separate VM for just that

  The creator of systemd works at Microsoft now[0]. Not sure if that factored into the change. systemd seems pretty heavy for VMs, but apparently they still start fast so there must be ways to optimize it.
