You're right, WinRT should have been much sooner.

However, there wouldn't have been much hope for a cross-platform .NET if it were COM based... and cross-platform is one of the things keeping .NET relevant - Personally, I was (reluctantly) about to ditch .net until that.

The cross-platform story is still half hearted, as many tools are VS only, and who knows if they ever going to land on VSCode or VS4 Mac.

Also see MAUI versus Swing/Qt, one needs to go for Uno/Avalonia instead.
