I will never understand why it’s called the Windows subsystem for Linux instead of the other way around? Doesn’t Linux system for Windows make so much more sense?
Because their earlier thingy that added partial posix compatibility was called ‘windows services for unix’, they just continued with backwards naming scheme.
Is it because it’s dropping the implied “running,” as in “Windows Services for (running) UNIX (programs)” and “Windows Subsystem for (running) Linux (programs)”?

Windows: subsystem for Linux
I don’t like the name but I don’t think so.
Linux system for Windows = adapted Linux to be able to run in Windows
Windows subsystem = adapted Windows to be able to run regular linux
