>With WSL2 I got rid of VM's for local development.

No you didn't, you just let Windows hide them from you. WSL2 is essentially a Hyper-V VM running Linux with some programs bridging between it and the Windows host -- or two such VMs with some additional bridging (for Wayland and audio) if WSLg is enabled.

Installing WSL2 has the weird side-effect of somehow breaking other Hyper-V VMs like some android emulators.
