There is no specific reason for running inside WSL. Building the EPICS environment in Linux is simpler than in Windows.

There's actually not much difference, especially if you use the GNU compilers and the MSYS2 environment.
See https://docs.epics-controls.org/en/latest/getting-started/installation-windows.html

My point is:

EPICS on native Windows is well understood, tested and supported.

EPICS on WSL2 is not.
