WSL fails in a lot of use cases due to the NT kernel's poor performance when creating processes, slowness in the translation layer when accessing files, and the like.
It's essentially the reverse case of telling Windows users to "just use Wine" - the emulation isn't perfect and some programs won't work well or at all. In a sense, WSL is worse than Wine in this regard since there's usually a Linux-native alternative if something doesn't work in Wine. If something doesn't work in WSL, you don't have a lot of options.
