Speaking as a former Windows Phone Developer: Yeah, this is roughly what developing for Windows Phone and the UWP felt like. Half Baked Tech Demos with glaring, basic Issues that never get fixed. It feels like Microsoft internally still thinks they are such a monopoly that people WILL adopt whatever they get fed by them and when that inevitably doesn't they never fix all the Issues required to be competitive.

A modern UI Framework of any kind is a massive undertaking, especially when it is not browser based. A modern UI Framework that is not Browser based and gets any kind of traction is almost impossible at this point. The Developer Experience would have to be at least as good as Browser based development and you'd have to show significant progress in cross Plattform development for anyone to care.

I was actually hopeful they'd make it at some point. Browser-based UI frameworks aren't very good on mobile - They had a chance here. But it's a classic Microsoft move to take the potential you have and throw it away.
