Long live to the people who worked on CoreRT/NativeAOT and the people who pushed for it
Great tech that will empower great projects
An example: https://icculus.org/finger/flibitijibibo
See Longhorn, with its design ideas being redone in COM from Vista onwards.
XNA being dropped on the floor, replaced by DirectXTK.
C++/CX being replaced by C++/WinRT with complete disregard for the developer experience, and when they got tired of working on it, they left it on its C++17 state without VS tooling, and started hacking away on Rust/WinRT, which still can't even support COM authoring.
XAML Islands being replaced by WinUI 3/WinAppSDK without the same level of tooling and feature set as UWP and WinUI 2.x.
Which might help them achieve whatever KPIs they need, but burn bridges in the developer community, and then they are surprised that even the most hardcore supporters no longer jump into adopting their tech solutions as in the "Developers, Developers, Developers" days.
