It stands for Linux, but that does not mean that they are trying to
move the general Windows user to a Linux experience.

It has a rather specific target group.

To quote from the WSL FAQ:

<quote>
Who is WSL for?

This is primarily a tool for developers, especially web developers, 
those working on open source projects, or deploying to Linux server 
environments. WSL is for anyone who likes using Bash, common Linux tools 
(sed, awk, etc.) and Linux-first frameworks (Ruby, Python, etc.) but 
also enjoys using Windows productivity tools
