The big difference is hardware access. I used to do VFIO with hardware passthrough so I could have linux but still run windows software like CAD that takes advantage of the gfx card. That was a pain to set up and use. The other way, its very simple. WSL2 can run ML tasks with just a tiny bit of overhead in moving the data to the card.
