This doesn’t seem plausible at all to me. If you’re making a GUI app for desktop computers and commercial success is your goal, you absolutely are not, and will not, be targeting linux first and expecting Windows users to set up WSL to run your app. If you want your app to be cross platform, you will use one of many cross platform toolsets available now. Given that, it makes no sense to “extend” linux app compatibility for windows- point 3 is true already.
The point of this isn’t to unlock a massive treasures trove of Linux exclusive GUI apps for regular Windows users because, frankly, regular Windows users aren’t missing out on anything in this regard. This is mostly for cross platform developers using Windows.
I agree with @rootinit@lemmy.ml , it seems like you’re trying to shoehorn this development into your understanding of a 20 year old meme and its a stretch to put it lightly. I understand not trusting Microsoft but I don’t think this is especially sinister.
