WSL2 is a different product from WSL1, not a different version. Is WSL3 now a different version of WSL2 or another separate product?

It's the same thing. Seems like the major version bump is to advertise WSLc, which is like Apple containers - an SDK for launching Linux containers as part of a Windows app.

Looks like a different version of WSL2 with a newer kernel and newer VM host software
