WPF was left to wither about the time .NET Core came out. In typical Microsoft fashion, they "deprecated without deprecating" it. They instead worked on the successor, MAUI, but were beaten to the punch by Avalonia. MAUI also took a "mobile-first" approach; There's tons of documentation about making mobile apps for it, but not as much for desktop apps. It's like they're trying to upset React Native. Avalonia, instead, focused on desktop apps, and seems to have won out in that space.
