...and Microsoft already had WPF... Isn't everything else VERY primitive compared to it? Why would they go back to an inferior technology? Adoption issue?

Microsoft had JScript.NET even before C#, so this was purely a political move not a technical one.
At that time , investing on javascript would not have made Windows sell more.
Now Javascript is seen as a way for MS to get more apps on their RT plateform thus sell more Windows licenses.
However , i dont believe MS javascript move is a long term one.
