As someone that decided to go back into native development in 2014, and then after how the whole WinRT/UWP mess was managed, and still is being managed in WinUI 3.0/WinAppSDK land, returned into distributed systems, yeah it looks like it.
Go watch a couple of community sessions, or the Github issues, it looks like a quite underresourced set of teams, still living in the days of "we do everything in C++ with no tools".
Having a designer for WinUI 3.0 was never a priority, a GUI framework!
Outlook for Mac is a dream. The animations, design, great support for keyboards, focus mode integration, native toolbar UX, and menu bar app are almost enough to make me think there’s a future for desktop-native software.

It’s weird because on Windows they’re moving to just shipping the web version in an electron (or equivalent) wrapper.
