I'm just taking a wild guess here, but I'd guess it's not a problem - WSL2 works afaik by having a native ext4 partition, and the Windows kernel accesses it. Intra-OS file perf is great, but using Windows to access Linux files is slow.

MacOS just understands ext4 directly, and should be able to read/write it with no performance penalty.
