All I really wanted from the Windows phone was the ability to pull up powershell and run some simple scripts :(

I don't think that's why it failed

Looking at the state of Windows 11, I doubt that.

Still no. It failed due to lack of apps. Apple and Android have twenty years of app ecosystem behind them at this point. If launched today, it will still fail due to lack of apps.

They could if they made the same looks with an underlying Android OS, just like Huawei and all the Chinese brands which have been barred from Google Android.

Then there’s no point? Just make a launcher? (They did make a launcher. Nobody used it either.)

Most of those apps have been completely rebuilt in the last couple of years. Everyone does that regularly. They could easily add a new platform at that point.
