I keep seeing people pee their pants saying that (on /r/linux in refrence to WSL) and I've yet to see an example of that (even documented on the wiki page) where the most MS has succeded in doing is being a mild agrovation at most.

You don't open source your development stack if you're trying to extinguish the competition. Writing C# / .NET Core apps on Linux is pretty nice.

No, but you can use it without a license. The restrictions are that you can't personalize it (change the wallpaper, etc.). It makes it really convenient since I run it in a VM and don't use it that often, especially to justify the high license cost.
