It appears Microsoft has two factions: the open-by-default tool creation for developers (VS Code, .net core, Posix subsystem, etc) and the walled garden Windows environment (Windows 10, Windows Store, UWP, etc). This makes some sense to me. MS wants to be kind to devs, to make Windows popular again so devs make their UWP apps. MS wants to give devs good tools on their platform so they buy Surfaces, use Azure, etc. Seems like a smart plan, but with the failure of Windows Phone, I'm not sure where MS is going with it.
