What 'greater good' can possibly be achieved by having to literally write the same app 5 different times?

You have work to do. And you get paid. No work - you're fired.
They could at least be trying to use the native multi-platform technologies they have bought/developed, like Xamarin or MAUI.
Going through the sunk cost of making 5 different GUI's and maybe wrapping some syscalls/API for the same 90% core app, resulting in minimal resource usage. It's the correct computerscientific approach and companies like Microsoft can (and should) commit to it. Breaking changes nowadays are too few and far between.
