I don't know why there is a Bash Shell.

I think the project was done "because they could".
It might have been as simple as that. It's a capability.
It's not monetized. The "average" Windows user is unlikely
to have a clue it is present, and even if they were
remotely interested, they'd never get it installed.
It is not a fully automated project.

I think it's part of a cover story, to hide the *real* plan.
After all, they hired Poettering. And the velocity of deployment
of WSLg, hints that they've also got some other damn good people.
Not the normal Wallys. *Why* do they have people like that ?

Now that I understand their pattern of "indirection" (a technique
I've seen back when I used to play sports), it's easier to guess
that something you're seeing, is a clever cover story. Like
the "FrameServe" project, that doesn't serve frames :-/ Funny,
guys.
