It's already partially there with WSL. Still has a long way to go. But it isn't completely rediculous.

Isn't that kinda the opposite? I thought WSL was just the ability to just run linux cli stuff on a machine running windows

as far as I understand it's more like a VM. But yeah it's quite literally the opposite of what OP suggested.

Yea, it's an API, just like POSIX was decades ago. (Though more advanced, it's been decades after all). .

WSL version 1 is an API translation. WSL 2 runs Linux in a vm.
