Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL): what can't I do with the Ubuntu application for Microsoft Windows?

$

As most of you know, in the Microsoft Store, there are three versions of Ubuntu. This means that on Windows I can emulate Ubuntu and have the Ubuntu command line directly on Windows.

The question is very easy: what can’t I do from the Ubuntu command line emulated in Windows that I can do on a proper Linux-based Ubuntu? Is it useful to download this Ubuntu application, install it, and work just with it instead of the real OS? Is it possible to install all the development libraries? Can I write (or not) device drivers? In other words: what are the limits?

What features of Ubuntu Linux-based are missing from Ubuntu-on-Windows?

New answers are welcome: I know that every software is always changing by improving characteristics and features!
