Microsoft seems to be doing everything they can to push everyone to writing platform agnostic software:

1. Game streaming, which opens the doors to app streaming

2. Progressive Web Apps, teaming with google to create a tool to publish them directly to the Android Play Store

3. At one point, they created tools to port iOS and Android apps to windows mobile

4. Investing in React Native and Xamarin

Personally, I am not a fan since today, the quality of these apps are really bad and give developers too much power. But seems Microsoft is trying to get a foothold to relaunch Windows Mobile again once more apps switch over
