I wouldn't say C# won, UWP is implemented in C++ and supports 
C++.  Of course, UWP is so unpopular that they eventually allowed 
Win32 apps into their store:

Now they are so desparate for people to use it that they just 
released a version of Windows that will only install UWP apps, 
Windows 10 S:

You seem to have missed the bit where I said C# lost 
_internally_.  Their plan, as detailed in the Vista link, was to 
move all their own apps to C#, which has yet to happen.  I hear 
C# has been very successful for corporate LoB apps, which are 
developed quickly and not used widely enough to spend much time 
on optimizing for performance.

Why?  The Windows Store is a ghost town, with google not even 
bothering to package Chrome on there, despite their browser being 
the most installed and used app on Windows.
