Well currently you still need to install it from the Windows Store after you've
enabled Linux binary compatibility, but point taken, that's just a few clicks
and a reboot compared to downloading an Ubuntu ISO and installing it in a
virtual machine, then messing about getting PuTTY to connect to it.

Any lower and Microsoft would include the Linux base in Windows 10 by default,
but I have a feeling they won't ever go that far.
