  loop:

FeatureName      : VirtualMachinePlatform
DisplayName      : Virtual Machine Platform
Description      : Enables platform support for virtual machines

Sorry, just noticed the win_optional_feature module:

- name: Enable "VirtualMachinePlatform" features for WSL
  win_optional_feature:
    name: VirtualMachinePlatform
    state: present
