A comment on Microsoft's “Love” of Linux. Parent comment
I'm no sure the powers that be at Microsoft have any great love for Win32.
Back when Windows 8 was released they introduced UPM (Universal Windows Platform) and that looked a lot like an attempt to actually kill off Win32.
They only backed away from this strategy after the backlash they got from Win32 Windows developers.
Move on to today and I think they are now using platforms like .NET Core 3.0 to gently move developers away from Win32.
