This is unfortunately by design. Mirrored networking is only supported on Windows 11.

Is there any plan to support this feature on Windows 10?

Yeah, why not support it on Windows 10 and Server 2022? There are many places where this would be useful, yet upgrading to Windows 11 is not yet possible. Please reconsider the decision, like you did with WSLg which everyone is grateful about.
