I am sure I am not alone in finding the lexical structure of the "windows subsystem for... " very unfortunate. Windows is the dom0 and the android or linux is the domU instance. Kinda.

It's windows hosted Android. or Android as a subsystem hosted on windows. Android running on Windows. But no, it has to be "for"

But I bet they workshopped it for hours in the marketing department and decided Windows had to come "first"
