Having used both, I don’t find WSL comparable to macOS’s native unix shell.

I use Windows with openSUSE WSL, macOS with homebrew and “real” Linux.

Aside from the bloat of it

Which bloat? It’s just a regular terminal.

WSL 2 will behave similarly to a virtual machine

That’s not so much different from a sanboxed environment on native Linux where a Flatpak application can request file system access but not touch processes outside its sandbox. If anything, I prefer that I have all my regular openSUSE thingies (zypper, my own Build Service repository,…) available unmodified on Windows, whereas the macOS terminal (and I know that’s subjective) just feels off.
