Can WSL/WSA be used as a sandbox?

If you want a sandbox geared more for testing then Windows Sandbox may be what you would want. Its non-persistent by design.

If you want something that's persistent then you're simply looking at VM or WSL. WSL will be sectioned off a bit but is still heavily tied to the OS.

Is WSL 2 secure for commercial work?

There is a possibility that the feature is corrupted or not set up properly. I would advise you to disable Windows Sandbox first and then enable it. Please follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Open Control Panel.
   
2. Then click on all Control Panel Items.
   
3. Then click on Programs and features.
   
4. Then on the left hand side, click on Turn Windows features on or off.
   
5. Then uncheck the option: Windows Sandbox.
   
6. Then restart your computer.
   
7. After restart, please enable it and check if the sandbox is working.
   

Also make sure that you meet all the requirements for Windows Sandbox.
