It's useful more so for non-developers and end users, or people who don't have access to WSL and hardware-assisted virtualization such as in corporate settings. Since it's native there's fewer layers of abstraction so it provides more seamless interoperability with Windows functionality (and better performance in specific scenarios like heavy I/O).
Personally, I'm a bit more latency sensitive and wanted to minimize GPU overhead in OpenGL. In addition, I wanted to make it easier for users to get started quickly without needing to install an entire VM/OS (and maybe in the process motivate them to do so!).
