The WSL1-WSL2 comparison says "We are tracking the work to improve this experience on the WSL GitHub repository issue 4166" regarding the issue of WSL2 not releasing memory usage for cached pages in memory. However, that seems to not be the case as the issue has been open for 7 years without any further updates from the devs since 2019. It also seems like the assignee of that issue is still actively working on WSL, so the lack of a follow-up and solution to this issue is likely a deliberate choice rather than accidental negligence (due to people switching teams etc.). I wonder if the documentation is also outdated and whether this issue is actually not being actively tracked, after all.
