Is WSL the Best of Both Worlds?

I really think Microsoft in the long run is going to see Windows as an albatross around their neck that they maintaining this ancient, ugly code base. I thought for sure that Microsoft would start moving users to cloud-based PCs by now. They offer it, but it's very expensive, so they're clearly still hoping to sell copies of Windows. If you want Linux, use Linux. You could dual boot, I guess, if you really had to have Windows. Why not use that? It's interesting to put it in cost terms that at a certain point the economics are, what's the point? We're still selling something.
