Because, in my opinion, programming on Windows is such a massive pain in the ass to do simple things such as trying to set up SSH keys in a meaningful way.
I know WSL2 exists but that eats 30GB of RAM (somehow) and just doesn't work for well for me and if I see one more error stating I need admin permissions to delete node_modules or vendor I'm going to scream.
With Linux all these pain points just don't exist and with Docker everything just becomes a breeze.
I have a lot of less RAM on my Windows PC with the WSL2 setup however, so far I haven't got any issues with it. Usually Chromium "eats" the memory and cause issues.
I agree with @rvxlab on the resources point here, WSL2 does not work well on machines with low hardware resources. Windows in general does not like it :D
I find it really userful to work on a Linux machine as Linux System Administrator and DevOps Engineer, i can perform simple tasks locally where WSL will not come handy to me. This is basically the short answer here, I can go for more details.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
I use Ubuntu latest in servers but always working in Windows why would you want work on Linux?!
Do you use the 20.04 LTS or some other version?
Why not Debian stable in servers?
I also heard some people like CentOS on servers for some reasons.
CentOS is great is for servers, easpecially for web hosting, just because some contol panels like cPanel are supported only on CentOS for the moment.
Cuz window eats lot of my laptop's 8gb rams 😅
True :D :D

It eats 8GB of RAM for my 16GB laptop though.
Also, it seems that it's known issue, and RAM hogging can be somehow turned off.
I have the issue it eats the 8GB for my 8GB RAM laptop :D
