Microsoft had to warn users that they would corrupt the original WSL subsystem if they touched Linux files using Windows tools:

> DO NOT, under ANY circumstances, access, create, and/or modify Linux files inside of your `%LOCALAPPDATA%` folder using Windows apps, tools, scripts, consoles, etc.

They did overcome that problem eventually, but by then everyone had moved on to WSL2.

That is no different from having file systems problems across OSes, as old as there are multiple OSes.

Even Linux best practices for SMB access have been as read only.

		Sorry, but WSL1 was unstable by Microsoft's own admission. That's why Microsoft abandoned it in favor of WSL2 running real Linux in a VM.
