Linux subsystem is there on windows. You don't have to use linux for majority of cases. Conda is pretty decent.
But I want to know what specific things they use that can't work on linux subsystem?
Maybe there are some and I don't know about them.

Also, it‘s way easier to work with multiple desktops and windows position better than on Windows where it seems that they are opening always there where you don‘t look.
There are also quite a lot of others, IMHO.
I don't have anything to say about your other nitpick.
A good reason to use windows is games, Adobe and office. Games using anti-cheat will not be available on linux and if you can get them to work, good luck not getting banned.
And IMHO, the discussion about which OS one should use is probably older than any OS at all. It comes down to personal preferences and experiences. I would not for any longer time want to use only Windows for a couple of reasons. I use it for some office stuff (we have SharePoint and OneDrive for Businsess does not exist for Linux).
I did a quick search and here are two references about the WSL speed:
[1] https://vxlabs.com/2019/12/06/wsl2-io-measurements/ [2] https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4197
It seems that they already improved a lot bur are still nowhere near native FS speed because of some technical limiations on how to embed the FS.
