They don't, but a Linux userland sure does. WSL1 was plagued by a change glibc made around nsleep & realtime clock usage, causing random programs to just fail under WSL1.

Strategically, I don't think WSL is a real product that would be customer facing due to "WSL has been designed and built to use with inner loop development workflows. There are design features in WSL that make it great for this purpose but may make it challenging for production-related scenarios compared to other products." https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/faq https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/faq
