Mmmmmm a kernel call translator.

Microsoft attempted to do it with WSL.

Then abandoned the idea and went with a VM called WSL v2.

I have no solid proof but I believe at least one of the factors were https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/2028 https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/3031 -- the ptrace() syscall is not a single syscall but more like that little dark hole the infamous "programming sucks" essay from stilldrinking mentions.

So starnix is a tool being worked on at Google (in Rust, [1]) to implement Linux's syscall layer and is validated against test cases [2] written for gVisor, also a program that implements Linux's syscalls, but one that is instead written in Go [3].

I see NIH is growing even stronger at Google. Why not build on gVisor, rather than re-implement everything from scratch?
