Is it clear? No. Is it grammatically fine? Yes. It references the Windows kernel as the core piece here, not the subsystem
Source: I work on Windows.
> Windows starting from NT (NT 3.1) is able to support semantics of different operating systems (or OS families) that existed at that time (1993). Microsoft called them Subsystems (today they would probably call them emulation layers).
it's an NT kernel subsystem which runs Android applications.
the NT kernel was always designed to support multiple simultaneous subsystems, so they are named "Windows Subsystem for [whatever]" because they are individual windows kernel subsystems for [whatever].
anyway, just accept the naming. the naming is set and won't change. your time is better spent on more meaningful stuff anyway.
