Windows Subsystem for Android was Microsoft's knee-jerk reaction to iOS apps coming to Apple Silicon Macs. Turns out, nobody really cares about either. But unlike Apple's effort, which also enables Mac Catalyst and half the native system apps on macOS, Microsoft's was a bolt-on alien experience, with afterthought apps from an afterthought app store. Not quite the embrace, extend, extinguish you hoped for. Nobody will miss it
