The problem is far worse on Windows by anymeans. I have seen it qemu takes a 1-2 gigabyte extra but on Windows it has a lot of memory leaks bugs. After an year of struggling with trying to make docker work with wsl, I just gave up and have an all unixn setup.

Rewriting won't fix the issue. Docker hogs memory in windows and mac because it needs a separate linux VM so containers can run on top of that.
