It's bizarre that an OS developer can't follow its own standards. Of all the companies to not support native Windows UI elements, why is it Microsoft?

Microsoft has never followed its own standards. They came out with the flat toolbar and 3D menu bar, neither of which were a published Windows API. Then when everyone started emulating that with their own, often poorly implemented, APIs Microsoft came out with the ribbon bar.

The standard reply to that question is "Microsfot is a big company and each team is in control of which frameworks they want to use".

Yeah I get your point, and think about it every time I start an Electron based installer to customise Visual Studio installation.
