    The real problem is its bash script you need WSL2 to run it on windows.

    Eh?

    WSL2 is one way to run a Linux kernel (and thus native Linux executable binaries) in Windows.

    And while bash is definitely very common on Linux, it has never by any means been a strictly Linux program.

    It can be used on all kinds of operating systems – mostly unix-like operating systems, but also including Windows using a POSIX compatibility shim like Cygwin.

    People were using bash in 1989, years before Linux became the beginning of a thing. And folks have been using it on Windows since at least 1995, or maybe even earlier – decades before WSL.
