Not sure if your message is tongue-in-cheek, but Windows desktop dev work is gone. If you wish MSFT would go back to that and give up Azure then you wish Microsoft would be less than half the size it is today... (and still no-one would use those Windows desktop dev tools)
I know it is a mess, yet looking at the competition, one doesn't need to give up native platforms in the name of cloud.
Android and iOS/macOS are what Longhorn never managed to be (granted still under Balmer), and SwiftUI/Jetpack Compose have managed to be something useful in half the time Project Reunion has been going with a joke in resourcing.
