I basically expect a bit of ABK acquisition budget to provide the same across all development teams.

Just like Common Language Runtime was announced in 2001, where all Microsoft languages used to be on equal tooling level. Unfortunately to those languages, CLR now means C# Language Runtime.

Microsoft isn't a poor startup trying to make it over the next month, as shown not only by ABK, their whole profit and market valuation.

By the way, C++/CLI was recently updated to C++20, as of last year, and is a critical component of WPF, remade official GUI framework at BUILD 2024.

No use to keep discussing this, lets see how much F# is there in .NET 9 and VS 2024 update when November comes.
