A real shame. To me, VS for Mac seemed to be converging on the level of product functionality/quality I associate with VS on Windows, only for me to find that its going away...
Seems like VS Code + C# Dev Kit is going to be the future [1]. I've been using VS/Mac for some MAUI and Xamarin development and, while I can probably continue to work on Maui in VS Code with C# Dev Kit and another extension, there doesn't appear to be a way forward for Xamarin.
And for some reason I find VS Code, with all its extensions, about as friendly as Eclipse (which is to say, not much). I much prefer the kind of integrated, native experience that Visual Studio provides (and without the Electron bloat).
