If nothing else, I now understand that I'm going to have to read up more on how WSL2 actually works, because I found WSL1 to be a really elegant way of running Linux on Windows without having a whole bunch of virtualisation in place, but it sounds like there's more virtualisation now, and also Hyper V networking has previously broken my network stack.

tl;dr is WSL2 is just a VM running under Hyper-V. The host is hence Hyper-V, not Windows.
