Well, it is a system call implementation. It does not try emulating any
parts of a running Windows system. It is quite more complex than, say,
AOUT executable support under ELF-based systems. But it works strictly
on-demand as far as I understand, without a continuously resident
subsystem with its own separate runtime behavior.

Sure, this may appear like pure sophistry, but _you_ use your
nomenclature for making statements about the system that are just
factually wrong. That's where being careless with terminology stops
being irrelevant.
