I thought there was an anouncement. I had Nokias all my life and my two first smartphones were Windows Phone and I was pretty happy about it. I still prefer WP "tile" UI, better use of space and informative home screen. Especially for my use case, as I don't like handling tens of apps and 95% of my use was email, browser, Whatsapp, podcasts, online banking, and Twitter.
But then Microsoft effectively announced it quit. After MS signaled it, you could see even the biggest companies (Facebook and Twitter, my bank) started to neglect their WP apps. So that was the end.
Now my third smartphone is a Moto G4 Android. I still prefer the 'tile' UI, but I am changing my user profile. I use many more apps now, like Reddit and an app for a brazilian website. Not essential, but ok. But having the newest features early on Whatsapp and a proper banking app are a much better experience.
