I think after the failure of Metro, I think Microsoft gave up on native apps entirely and now the story is web or Electron.

It appears the problem is more deep than that.

From what I could infer from some community talks, podcasts and so, I would assert that nowadays they have the problem new hires have been educated in UNIX like OSes and Web.

Thus Windows team gets lots of folks that never coded anything for Windows, and management instead of having proper trainings in place, just goes with Webview2 and Electron all over the place.

I might be wrong, this is more my perception than anything else.

So, in other words, the kids grow up learning and using Linux, right?

I would say the web took over as the primary application platform and Unix-likes provided convenient low cost license-free foundations to build them on.

Developers, at least. And Macs.
