The biggest issue in my opinion is that Microsoft is chasing web devs. XAML is pita, just like css and html markup. They need to pick a lane and just use it. Allow other frameworks access to the default low level api such as Win32, but document it to the same level as Google does on Android and Apple with SwiftUI

I actually like the idea of GUIs being represented in a markup (whether that be XML, QML, GNOMEs new Blueprint (which is kinda a markup language I think?) but I also thought display postscript was elegant so maybe I'm backing the wrong horse

I think the whole world sails on that ship and MSFT just wants to catch up. Their most darling developer tools since 10 years ago are mostly by web and for web: Typescript, VSCode.
