on a 10-year-old PC, a modern gaming laptop and a current-gen Macbook (through Bootcamp).

I am more interested in, what are your hardware specs? I am have MacBook Air 2012, with replaced SSD harddisk and 8 GB RAM.

My latest complaint is, VirtualBox performance is damn bad; and WSL2 is damn RAM hogging.

My PC has a 2nd Gen Intel i3 processor and 4 GB RAM. WSL does consume a lot of RAM, but I haven't noticed any performance impacts on other apps running alongside. Even WSL runs buttery-smooth for me.
