I love many things about Microsoft & .NET. Most, even. Their UI frameworks are not among these things. I don't know that they could ever be trusted again with something like this. We do use Blazor right now, but I've already got us sliding back into a bare-ass vanilla JS solution that only uses the most minimalistic of AspNetCore APIs. I.e. connect websocket & run my own protocol on top type of deal. Blazor showed me the way (push deltas and events over websocket), but I don't like the lock-in to anything Microsoft+UI. The open web is a much more trustworthy path. Nothing else comes close on a historical basis.

Yeah, I am with you and do not trust the longevity of any MS-related UI technology. History seems to indicate that it will either be outright killed or will die a slow death as they jump on the next shiny thing. I love ASP.NET Core but this attitude sadly seems to have infected it as well. There's still a lot of room for improvement in MVC and Razor Pages, but these seem to be in all but maintenance mode as focus has shifted over to Blazor and Minimal APIs.
