Do you know any linux users that have switched from linux desktop to Windows because of WSL? I think it's just leading to Windows devs embracing Linux.

I know it keeps me more on windows, when I do not have to switch to the linux partition to do something particular and I see new devs not making the switch to linux at all, when they can get the job done on windows.

No, but I know quite a few that used to buy Mac laptops and now buy Windows ones.

That is the target market, developers that want a POSIX CLI experience and don't care about GNU/Linux to start with.
