It comes from both Windows and X. Windows autorepeats the keystrokes,
which are then sent to Wayland (against the Wayland spec.) Then,
Microsoft's modified copy of Xwayland autorepeats each of those
keystrokes as well, causing the speed of autorepeat to grow increasingly
faster the longer you hold down a key.
The WSL X server is of extremely low quality and is best poked at with a
very long stick. The longer, the better.
