The goal for MS is as it has always been: to have everyone's computer running MS Windows. Or more recently, for everyone to require a subscription to MS Office365 or whatever it's called. Any product they produce that isn't a market leader, they will make as widely available as possible until it is a market leader. At that point, they will constrict it to whatever environment is most profitable for them. They have repeated this behavior since the 80's. If you don't know and accept this about MS, go read some history about them. No corporation will ever act in your best interest, unless it coincidentally happens to also be in their best interest at the time.
I tried using it for the first time on Mac just last week and it a while to figure out there was no C++ support.
