Attempting to 'unixify' Windows is indeed a task often drought with much pain. MS shower to have recognised this over recent years by investing in better tooling like PowerShell, Windows Terminal and Subsystem for Linux. But it's still non-trivial. For instance, I cannot install WSL2 despite my variation of Windows 10 seemingly being updated to just va tick over the minimum version. Thankfully I don't need it. I feel your pain and acknowledge how ludicrously unnecessary it is.
