WSL extension requires additional contexts before enable this for the remote picker.
The current experience for creating new connection for WSL without the necessary dependencies is a mix of user interactions inside and out of vscode which can break a new user's flow (WSL needs a distro install and redirects users via notifications to the distro downloads page.). There is an opportunity here to clean up the WSL getting started experience.

I will work on making the install experience more streamlined, but I think we should add the connect to Connect to WSL command nevertheless. The complicated flow will be a one-time thing until all is set up.

I agree- adding it and then continuing to refine it over time makes sense to me too. It's a great way to continuing broadening the awareness of WSL.

Sounds good. I'll have this our next week to enable in insiders after end-game. It requires a small code change to check for supportedPlatform (Windows)
