1. It's not, actually, it's a big part of Silverlight and Windows Phone 7.

2. MS has this horrible problem of not actually using their own products. No big apps came out of MS using WPF/XAML, why would anyone else use it?

Which is much the same of what could be said for WinForms, MFC, and soon even Silverlight will be thrown under the bus or at least bolted on top of HTML5 to keep it alive.
