I haven’t used Windows in many years, but am shocked this wasn’t always the case. If Microsoft doesn’t build native apps, why should they expect anyone else to. It seems like an admission that the native app building experience isn’t any good.
That said, I’m here for it. I would love to see a return to native apps.
The last push for native apps was in Windows 8 era, i think, it didn’t work. Since then i don’t know of any native apps from Microsoft, anything new is web based or electron.
Gotta keep that applications barrier to entry going...
