Microsoft is really doing amazing with FOSS lately. The only things I see missing are some kind of filesystem. It doesn't seem quite ready to replace CircuitPython but probably will in time.
The big potential I see here is App-capable devices. That's really the missing factor with the IoT right now, the apps are separate from the device. We have to adapt everything around it to be able to talk to it, and usually you can't because it's all proprietary.
But if we had an OS and an App store, any device would work with anything.
We could actually get some good use out of Matter being IP based, if we could run apps on our smart plug.
It would be especially great for things that have a display.
I'm not sure why nobody has made an IoT OS with an app store yet, but it would/will be awesome.
