Looking from the outside, but also following everything that comes out of MS and MSR, I think it was a political consequence.
There was always the DevTools vs WinDev differences regarding the role of .NET in Windows, and for a while it seemed Microsoft has happy having .NET just be good enough.
Thankfully they have changed their mindset and are improving .NET to be as close to C++ as possible, at least for 99% of the use cases where using a GC language is an acceptable trade off.
