Is it really a windows subsystem "for linux" or a windows subsystem "for running linux". There is a big difference. Very bad naming.

[midoridensha]

Microsoft has always been terrible at naming; it seems to be part of their DNA. The only time their products have good names is when they buy those products from someone else and keep the name (e.g., Powerpoint).

Clipchamp is a terrible name.

WSL originally didn't run Linux, it performed system call mapping

"Yes"

It does both syscalls in linux style "for linux" programs (WSL1) and it also happens to be "for running linux" (WSL2).
