It's a good thing Microsoft doesn't think that way. It apparently has metrics that show desktop development is not stagnating, but rising thanks in part to Windows desktop OS usage also rising [1]. See its plans for WinUI v3 [2]. WinUI is not cross-platform but it is talking about it.

Windows exists as mobile OS.

It runs on the tablets, hybrid laptops and lots of custom made handeld.

It is the option to go to for anyone not willing or able to acquire an iPad, given the bad experience of large majority of Android tablets.
