It's a misnomer because it's not actually Linux (nor does it even wrap/include Linux in any way), just like how Wine isn't actually Windows (if it was Linux, then Microsoft is blatantly violating the GPL). Most charitably, it's less "Windows Subsystem for Linux" and more "Windows Subsystem for Programs Compiled for Linux".
