It’s just funny (or sad actually) that Microsoft apparently won’t eat its own .NET MAUI dog-food, even for such a simple application.

  You'd also have to re-educate the entire Team's Dev. Team on using C# for development, away from the web stuff they've been doing. I think it totally makes sense to stick with web

    Or, replace them with a team that already knows C# - which I assume should be possible at Microsoft- and also knows what they’re doing.

      A rewrite would be very expensive, and this already works. Microsoft also invented TypeScript and WebView2. They are eating their own dogfood.

      sure, ms has hundreds of teams of C# developers just sitting around doing nothing while they look for products to take over..

  WebView2 and React FluentUI are also Microsoft's own dog food. As much as anything it is a competing choices thing for them.

  Teams works in the browser, but MAUI doesn't. Also, MAUI didn't exist when Teams was invented, and they had only just acquired the Xamarin company. MAUI is great, and they should invest more in it. WebView2 and MAUI work together well. This is probably a good future direction.

      If not Teams for reasons discussed here, just anything of note would be a good trust-signal for CTOs. I don't think it is likely.
