I think you are talking about the situation when you enter commands in windows command prompt (cmd.exe) or power shell. In that case, I agree that the suffix ".exe" can be omitted. I'm talking about the situation when the command is called through wsl bash shell. Bash is just a linux binary, so I suspect that it wouldn't add suffix ".exe" implicitly when it searches executable file in PATH. If there is only "pdflatex.exe" in PATH and no "pdflatex" (without the suffix), I guess that bash would insist that "there is no executable named pdflatex in PATH", ending up with invoking nothing.
