There's a known issue with systemd in WSL2 - It's just not officially supported yet...

In the meanwhile, you can try genie - It's the best attempt to solve this at the moment

You got it! That is one of the "hacks" I mentioned in the article. If you need it, it is there. I just don't think everyone needs it.

Not sure I would call it "a known issue" when it is a deliberate design choice about init system. But maybe I am wrong. In other words, nothing is broken. The init architecture is slightly different, though.
