Mostly its related to filesystem and permissions. Interface between windows and Linux, and mismatch in how the two work.

Compute etc is fine!

Yeah its best to avoid using the windows filesystem for anything else but a source of cp -r

/mnt/c etc from within WSL, and access to Linux FS paths are effectively a plan-9 file share service... Beyond this, if you use Docker Desktop (or similar) with volumes on the host OS (Windows or Mac) it's a weird FS sync between the host and container environment)... if you do volumes in WSL2 inside a Linux/WSL environjment it works fine (normally).

Permissions between Windows and Unix are always (generally) a mismatch, as is the nature of OS differences.

Hardly any different from mounting UNIX filesystems that don't obey exactly the same semantics.
