Why run a docker through a vm on Windows when you can just run docker natively? I don’t understand the convolution.
Use whatever you are more comfortable with.

Thats how docker runs “natively” on windows, its kernel has no support for namespaces nor cgroups that containers require

No. You can install docker directly in Windows. OP is running a Linux VM and then docker inside of that.

Docker desktop for Windows runs under WSL or Hyper-V, both being VMs themselves.
Arguably running a Linux VM themselves will only offer them more customisation options (although may be heavier than WSL)
