Lets see, I watched the Office sessions at BUILD, so that was my understanding until the announcement came last week.

Yeah, BUILD's where most of where my impressions come from, especially from how pleasantly happy that the Fluent Design Team was with finally merging in some of Office's design resources and working to align Office towards dogfooding Fluent controls directly.

The implication I take from the UWP "Office Mobile" app shutdowns is that Office is now confident that if UWP returns to mobile it will do so with "real" Office, which was my takeaway from BUILD that that was the strategy they were pursuing.

I think it's another case of Microsoft not being able to properly spin "nuance" in a press release, because they don't want to comment on future plans or publicly commit to things still in flux/prototyping/development.
