On the native desktop side yes (btw qt is underrated) it's very mature, and I think people were just too busy with building stuff for the web (at least from a non .NET developer). What's even crazier is that you could have a web application in your browser built by some monolithic UI builder tool and wrap it around a thin client and ship it with a six digit price tag for enterprise, they won't know the difference. If there was a way to generate a react.js app using Visual Studios or maybe even a dumbed down version suited for building front-end web apps, that could be ideal but would it be in their best interest to help their rivals? I know the whole going open source is a new thing for MS but they won't own 'React' and be able to monopolize the new era of 'I taught my grandma how to build Hootsuite with just click & drag'. Unless they create their own front end framework and own the platform that is the web which is constantly being voted on from the capricious developers and new adopters.
