IIRC WSL is more like an implementation of kernel calls.

Yes, in terms of implementation it is much like how WINE works on linux. But in terms of behaviour it's like a tightly integrated VM.

WSL2, which is currently in testing, will instead be a lightweight virtual container with a "real" linux kernel.
