nokernelcrypto works in Ubuntu 20.04, but why is it needed?

I built the console version of VC 1.25.4 in Ubuntu 20.04 under WSL 2.
It works fine to decrypt VC files I have encrypted on another VC installation using AES(Serpent(Twofish), but only with the nokernelcrypto enabled. It seems that AES(Serpent(Twofish)) may not be supported by the Linux kernel.
My question is why? The libgcrypt20 - LGPL Crypto library - runtime library, which supports each of these algorithms is part of the kernel , and mine is up to date.
It's not terrible that decryption happens in software, but I would like to know if I can address this.
Am I missing a supporting package?
Many thanks!
