Plans for native Windows Apps for Forms, Loop, Designer etc..

Are there any plans for native Windows Apps for Forms, Loop, Designer etc.. ? It is disappointing with Windows becoming more of a focus for AI, that these newer apps are just webapps on Windows, but you can get a native app on Android or iOS.

microsoft forms
microsoft loop
office 365
windows 11

    May consider this:

     

    - Use Progressive Web Apps (PWAs): You can install the web versions of Loop, Forms, and Designer as PWAs. They’ll behave more like native apps with their own window, icon, and offline capabilities.
    - Explore Uno Platform or .NET MAUI: If you're a developer, these frameworks let you build native Windows apps that mirror the experience of mobile apps.
