If you insist: why is bash so slow?  YOU could brush YOUR tooth while waiting for that slug to finish.
On my Win11 AMD 5600G machine, to create and delete 100K files:
WSL Ubuntu bash: 141.2s create,  1.4s delete, 142.6 total (your script)
PowerShell     :  21.2s create, 10.5s delete,  31.7 total
Python + cmd   :  16.6s create,  6.7s delete,  23.3 total
ouch!
PowerShell

There would be no Steam Deck if Valve didn't grow so big and profitable

 You make it sound like Microsoft is letting Linux win out of the
goodness of its heart.

Linux generally can't beat Windows fairly, because it's always been given away for free.  That's how it killed off Unix.

Face it, Windows cannot compete in anything mobile-related.

Linux cannot compete when people have a choice of what to buy and use.
