What a weird thread of comments this was. There are clearly people who just don't like anything Microsoft does. The point of the blog is to make the process of bringing apps (UWP) to XBOX be frictionless: no recompile required, no messy ifdefs, none of that extra work. The App would "just work". Then, it's up to the developers to start adjusting the app to fit the XBOX platform more. The important thing here is that the developer was able to bring the app with no effort to XBOX. This is good for both the platform and the developer. To the user, it's a clear signal that they can't print since the list of printers are empty. But most importantly for them, the app did not crash or show the most hated error: "oops something went wrong. Try again later." Is that message a better experience for the user? No. Sure, the developers can recompile the app and add a more descriptive message but then we're back to square one.
