Just to be clear, that sounds like you are saying that unless you use X11... there is no GUI support in WSL2 (via Wayland) yet
Are you able to use WSL2 and Wayland today like you can with VcXsrv or Xming the day WSL2 came out?

Yes. This is the work that Microsoft should be involved with. They have access to all the Windows source code. They have access to all the internal documentation. They hold all the keys to making this happen in a much shorter amount of time.
And that's why they're also involved with WSL: because they are turning Linux into just an add-on for their OS. So you keep using their OS (and paying for it) and they can keep trying to make you use the rest: Edge, Bing, Office, etc.
What I can't understand is why Canonical volunteered to help them make it possible.

That was followed by Pronovost talking about X11/Wayland application support under WSL and then the third and final Microsoft talk of the day was Jesse talking about their Mesa Direct3D 12 mapping layers for getting OpenCL/OpenGL over D3D12.
