Built-in OpenSSH was never the problem. You could always get builds for Windows.
Lack of a half-decent terminal emulator is. cmd.exe is just terrible (I assume that's what I see in the screenshot).

I hope you are aware that Windows 10 has improved console: https://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2014/10/07/console-im...
And keeps improving: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/tag/console/
So they finally got mouse selection working? Font size scales according to screen resolution? They must have woken up to the 21st century.
Thank you for the link, I had no idea. I haven't kept tabs on the recent developments. Not sure if I'll ever upgrade to Windows 10, but I keep it in a cage somewhere, so I'll take a look.
I was happily surprised a while back when I started using WSL, but there are a few things that I still miss:
* tabs * splitting a pane * a default font with a high unicode coverage * better theme support (the current system is clunky)
You may get away with ConEmu then: https://rakhesh.com/windows/whee-cmder-can-do-split-panes/
