What a weird take. Parent obviously meant @X meta-programming annotations, not language syntax and keywords with a specific definition.

The definition that includes it is so broad that it loses all meaning, it would make "private", "class" or "boolean" also annotations.

In .net world, the C# "this" syntax is itself just syntactic sugar over an annotation (attribute in .net parlance): https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.runtime....

My guess is that MSDN POs prioritize testing with Blink/Edge WebView2 over other engines.
