The Fastest Mutexes
The binary is only one part of the puzzle (and largely solved by WSL). Installation/uninstallation and desktop integration is just as much of a hassle.

I don't think you can reasonably assume that people have WSL set up on Windows for the purposes of shipping desktop software. Nor does it cover Mac.

Well, there's orb on mac which is in some ways better/faster than WSL

I don't get the argument, if the binary part is solved by WSL it isn't useless is it? Otherwise why would MS invest so much resources into it?

WSL can do a lot more than just run Linux binaries.
