The Linux Subsystem for Windows is good enough for my software development needs - the Docker Engine does not run in WSL but you can tell the Linux docker client to use the Windows server by setting an environment variable:

    export DOCKER_HOST=localhost:2375

Okay, what is your point? Whether it's good enough for your needs is unrelated to whether it's Linux.

The point is that unless you are fiddling with the kernel, a Windows laptop with WSL makes for a great workstation for software developers. Even if I only develop for Linux, for me it is either a Mac or Windows on the desktop (my pet peeve with Linux on the desktop is the several counterintuitive paste buffers).
