Why Microsoft should enter the mobile market again and make a Surface Phone running Windows 11 Mobile

When Microsoft made the Windows Phone, we all loved it, we loved the live tiles, Cortana, integration with your PC, etc! But it all fell because of one singular problem. Most popular apps weren't on the Windows Phone Store. I mean sure you had Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Instagram. But you didn't have Snapchat, YouTube, or and others. But there were still good alternatives like myTube! Or MetroTube for YouTube or 6Snap for Snapchat. Eventually the app problem was getting smaller but the core apps just were not on the Store. When Rudy Huyn made 6Snap, it was amazing. But Snapchat started to ban Windows Phone users using the app and blocked the app. Rudy tried to offer Snapchat the source code for free. But Snapchat ignored him. But he still made zing alternatives to other social apps like 6Tag for Instagram and 6Sec for Vine. I think today is different. Microsoft has all the stuff to make a Surface Phone. ARM silicone has matured. The Microsoft store has more apps than ever, and the push for native apps! I believe that Microsoft can do this.
