Android on the desktop works very well on Wayland with Waydroid and it even supports Google Play store. https://waydro.id/

Great running apps not available on Linux with a touchscreen PC. It only seems to run Android apps compiled for x86, but it is very fast.

There are practical use cases, and it is very usable. I haven’t tried it on WSL2, but it seems like a practical approach without reliance on Microsoft.

You can run ARM apps as well using libhoudini. Checkout: https://github.com/casualsnek/waydroid_script

Waydroid won't work on WSL2 as the kernel provided by MS doesn't have binder driver.
