Note that WSL doesn't really eliminate the need for native Windows binaries,
since WSL is something that has to be explicitly enabled and configured; see
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install.  It's not like running a
32-bit binary on a 64-bit system which is something that just works.  You can't
just take a Linux binary and run it on Windows.
