Windows is running Android and Linux on their own Hyper-V instances, hardly much emulation going on besides the hypervisor drivers.

Android on Windows requires Windows 11, is US only and uses Amazon store, hardly a success.

WSL is being a success to drive Windows sales, because as Microsoft learned from Apple's customer base, it turns out many developers only care about having a POSIX environment and couldn't care less to support Linux vendors Additionally it helps selling Windows containers on top of Docker tooling, for the same kind of customers.

That is the target, nothing else.
