I miss pre-2023 microsoft

This news is a shame but hardly unexpected.
WSA was the only Win11 carrot and even then still not enough to make me switch from Win10, given how intrusive Win11 is.
I only run a handful of Windows-only apps and had already started the process of de-Microsofting to add to my de-Googling efforts. So byebye M$, Hello Proxmox....
I expect this news will do wonders for the uptake of Linux or Mac as a serious competitor to Microsoft, encouraging commercial developers to better support those platforms - Fingers crossed!
In my opinion, I'd add that I find in incredulous to declare poverty being the only reason to drop WSA after literally spending billions on the latest dot com bubble, I expect that same amount would cover WSA development into the next millenium. Slightly worryingly, I wonder how soon it will be before VSCode goes the same way? M$ can't make much from that either?
This anouncement is like a bilionare announcing everybody to come round for free pizza then scuttling off in their limmo before the bill is paid - Big up the feature announcement then quietly step out the back door and keep the money instead of backing that claim up with your wallet.
I expect this to be another '20/20 hindsight vision' business decisions that will be examined in detail by academics in years to come and probably the beginning of the end for the current CEO, once the bubble bursts. As it always does...
Microsoft, like Google, Tesla, etc, are all renowned for sudden and tangential announcements and this is just another big corporation failing to see the horizon. I guess shareholders care little about customers and just want the quick buck, forgetting that an OS is almost a lifelong choice and something people don't switch to/from that easily. Look at the W11 growth vs previous population, it's rather poor and this is just one more reason to keep it like that.

That's true, it could be the shareholders messing with the decisions for profit or just plain cost-cutting. It's a stupid move considering how good WSA actually has become over the years and one of the highlight features of Win 11.
Another POV could be an issue from Amazon's side for the depreciation of their app store. Maybe MS doesn't want people to sideload APKs (which is what most people do btw).
Anyways this sucks that MS is slowly becoming another Google in killing features left and right.

I can not understand why MS killed it before the release of Copilot+PC running on arm.
