Cause of death: the autopsy

At least 3 dedicated sellers, including a 2026 entrant selling the exact job. Demand was thin: 3 Microsoft forum retirement threads in July-August 2026.

The numbers

None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.

Could rise again if

The report left no way back.
