The container experience with podman machine on Windows and mac is not optimal because the
containers are slow. Mac is a Linux-based OS. So, why can't we create native
containers on it as we do on Linux?
That applies to WSL. It's kind of Linux. Why cannot we create native Linux containers
on it without resorting to Podman machine and podman clients?

Macs are BSD-based, not Linux, and therefore do not run the Linux kernel, and therefore
cannot run Podman (or Docker) natively.

OS X has a Mach kernel and a BSD user land. Don’t think Apple is interested
in adding containers framework to that. I guess someone could write a
kernel extension but it’s a niche use case.
WSL 2 uses a real Linux kernel doesn’t it? But it’s still a VM inside of
Hyper V so I don’t think the performance is any different. WSL 1 is a posix
emulation with binary compatibility but no container support under the
hood.
Correct me if I'm wrong about that.

Podman uses WSL 2 and is about to release HyperV support.
