In recent-ish versions of Windows, like 7, the name for the thing was SUA, Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications.
It was rather limited to be honest, and I think it was already deprecated by the time Windows 7 came out, but it was a thing. Then came WSL 1 and now WSL 2 certainly being easier to maintain for them than WSL 1.
