Wsl is just a VM and it can run graphical apps. I’ve never used it for games, but I’ve ran some intensive simulations through it that used my GPU and it worked fine so probably.
Wine is no longer a vm, they switched approaches a couple years back and now perform translations from windows specific apis and commands into the nearest available Linux version. Slowly refining the process like a fine wine to reduce the differences. That’s also why wine developers work closely with the dxvk devs (direct x 7-12 translated into vulkan regardless of platform) and other translation layer devs to be able to use their tools rather than duplicate the work.

Half Life: Linux
They’re waiting for your vim commands, in the test chamberrrrrrr
“Shut it down now!”
“It’s not- it’s not shutting down!”

What will happen if they release the next Half-Life as a Linux only build? There is no Wine in Windows. Is WSL even able to run games?
