There's some discussion here: https://github.com/microsoft/ProjFS-Managed-API/issues/54

It looks like it's meant to solve a much narrower problem than FUSE.

Edit:

Since you mentioned Dokany[0] I'll also throw out a shout for WinFsp[1] as a similar project, too.

oh, I had no idea from scanning the docs that it created a physical file for every virtual file. that really makes it of marginal general use.

I suppose the choice of the name also makes sense in that context.
