Oh boy, Windows does the same thing (regarding hidden files to sort out FS stuff), but they hide it (just like Apple). We WSL2 users found out the hard way and Microsoft refuses to offer a solution. Relevant issue: https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/7456

Apologies for my post getting snipped, The latest iOS beta keeps randomly eating my text. Apple is aware.

Unless im misunderstanding something, these files don't actually exist but reside in the NTFS's alternative data stream, and only display separately in WSL due to ext4 not supporting ADS right?

Which then is the same with Apple's ._ files

Unix file systems are not sufficient, you need a layer on top.
