UWP finally paying off dividends

With almost barrage of apps lined-up or already released (atleast in beta form), I think that the UWP strategy is finally making a whole lot of sense now. There is a renewed interest in among with developers. Of course we can't deny that there are also apps that are abandoning the platform but that doesn't mean that they can't come back. E.g. Amazon has definitely retired their windows phone app but never mentioned that they are leaving the platform completely ad we are hoping that they might come back with a UWP for Windows 10. Also there are other OEMs launching there W10M (HP Elite & NuAns Neo). There's whole lot of positive buzz around the Platform
What needs to be seen is how guys at Microsoft take it further or just give up on the opportunity which is there to be grabbed by both the hands. Atleast not to make the stupid remarks like W10M is not the priority for us/ we don't see future of W10M.

Sorry for my wishful thinking but wouldn't it be great if MS announces big bang UWP release along with Anniversary Update. Starbucks, PayPal (after all its goof ups), Facebook and other major apps all landing on 2nd Aug in a blitzkrieg. What a great PR story it would be with a jump start to W10M update and a great build up for Surface Phone launch
