WSL2 is what you describe, WSL1 is not.

WSL2 is what people use now though. Saying "WSL is not linux" (because wsl1 isn't) is pedantically analogous to saying "mac os is not a unix based os" (because mac os 9 and under isn't)

Of course, why would we discuss WSLv1 in 2025? If we discuss "Windows" today, it's unlikely we mean Windows 2000.
