Developer explains why Windows 11 keeps getting web apps instead of native apps

The developer explains that Windows 11 is increasingly using web apps instead of native apps due to Microsoft's lack of a clear UI framework for long-term commitment, leading to uncertainty among developers. Microsoft's history of introducing and then moving away from various frameworks has made developers hesitant to fully invest in any one platform. As a result, many popular Windows apps like WhatsApp, Spotify, and Discord are now web-based, as web apps are cheaper to build and maintain. While Microsoft is making efforts to improve native app experiences on Windows 11, developers are cautious due to past inconsistencies and are seeking a framework they can trust for the long term.
