One of the comments on that blog leads to WinUI, which I would assume Microsoft would recommend first

Not sure if it's cross-platform though.

Microsoft is not a single entity; there is plenty of room for innovative ideas like what Steve has that challenges the status quo around formerly innovative ideas like electron. We certainly have no shortage of highly successful electron apps at the company either (e.g., VS Code and Teams).

I don't consider the return of MSHTML or XUL an innovative idea.

Uno Platform attempts to make WinUI cross-platform.

Oh that looks good. Wonder what the timeline on these technologies will be. Sounds like it will be after .NET 5
