TypeScript is also there thing. They've been pushing React as well in SharePoint & other areas for quite a few years.
Blazor is very new & was considered experimental until recently. It's still fairly bleeding edge.
Microsoft started Teams in 2016 & bought Xamarin in 2016.
JavaScript developers are also more plentiful than Xamarin I assume.
They should choose the best tools for the job, even if it's not there own.
- Edit - It looks like WebView2 is a Microsoft thing based on their Chromium browser version. Super common for Microsoft to make multiple competing products that do similar things.
