>My guess is that Microsoft has a secret new OS (written from scratch) that's super modern and efficient and they're just waiting for the market opportunity to finally ditch Windows and bring out that new thing. I doubt it'll ever happen though because for "new" stuff (where you have to write all your stuff from scratch all over again) everyone expects the OS to be free.

More and more stuff gets offloaded onto the WSL for stuff which doesn't need interactive graphics or interoperability through the traditional windows IPC mechanisms.
