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.
