The performance speed between WSL, virtual machines, and bare metal Linux has become so close that few developers choose this method due to the overhead of needing to restart (reboot) your device any time you want to switch between the operating systems.

And there’s the attempt at discouraging you from going bare-metal.

I doubt that “few developers choose this” is true.
