Hm. MS started to support React, especially React Native project lately with their react-native-windows and AppCenter, but I honestly have no idea why would they do that instead of going with something like Electron, since they started to invest in Chromium and V8 anyway.

They've done a lot with Electron as well... Github now being a subsidiary of MS. VS Code is really nice, and Teams is decent. I'd be surprised if we don't see new cross platform Office releases based on the Web versions wrapped in Electron in the next couple years.

Office has been heading towards React Native and React Native for Web, according to BUILD talks.

My impression is that Microsoft sees it as a "¿Por que no los dos?" situation and is investing in both because it makes developers happy to have a choice.
