Is it misinformation though? Microsoft started using ReactNative in 2021 and they're just now pulling it out. While, yeah, the ReactNative in the Start menu did map onto native UI elements with UWP XAML, it was still using Javascript (through Hermes, to be fair) to take in updates and build the underlying UWP XAML.

I'm saying this as someone who uses GNOME and likes their GJS shell extensions. ​ I think it is still fair to say that GNOME runs on Javascript, even if it's mostly just bindings for underlying C code. And, frankly, GNOME did a better job of optimizing around GJS than Microsoft did optimizing around Hermes.
