This change is not correct. IPv6 IS supported by WSL1.

As an evidence, please look at this blog post from 2017 and look for "IPv6" on that page:

Followed the bread crumbs in the links made the wsl.conf and can indeed confirm, in wsl1, ipv6 working. Verified with
curl -g -6 'https://[fe80::3ad1:35ff:fe08:cd%eth0]:443/'
Unfortunately I learned I need to redo all my certs as the ipv6 was not listed in the SANs ;-)
