The problem isn't the Windows Shell, rather the pivot to bring UWP into Win32 instead of the original Project Reunion goal.

Check the GitHub repos for WinUI 3.0, WindowsAppSdk, CsWinRT, C++/WinRT, specially the issues and commit rates per week.

It is as if everyone left to Azure, but there are a few left still trying to make the UWP reboot happen.

Most of the community that really bought into it, moved back into plain Win33/.NET, fed up with the WinRT reboots since Windows 8.

Regardless of the possible mess in the Windows Shell, there is a bigger one in management.
