Microsoft is like Google in this space.

The previous iteration got killed right when it could have started gaining traction due to Microsoft's shift to "cross platform" and PowerShell Core.

The previous iteration of the Local Configuration Manager for Linux was written Python while the Windows version was a distinct codebase entirely.

But even regardless of that I have zero confidence that Microsoft can break into this space and that the Windows culture would shift in this direction. The mentality is just not there with the typical (majority of) admins.
