Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
For Windows Insiders on the Release Preview Channel, WSL2 has been outdated for a while now. I am sure this was an oversight at some point, but it's really frustrating having to manually update still.

Describe the solution you'd like
The WSL2 version shipped through the Microsoft Store for Windows Insiders in the Release Preview Channel is still version 2.0(.15), which is behind the stable release for non-Insiders (2.1.5), and has been stuck for a while now.

Describe alternatives you've considered
You can always manually update WSL2, or update WSL2 before joining the Windows Insider program, but it is a hassle and probably shouldn't be this way.

Additional context
Nothing to add. Just for context, these are the WSL2 versions currently shipped:

Windows 11 (Stable): WSL 2.1.5
Windows 11 - Release Preview Channel: WSL 2.0.15 (old)
Windows 11 - Beta/Dev Channel: WSL 2.2.4
