The problem isn't that they are trying, or not trying. It's that they are trying the same shit again, even after finding out it doesn't work (community bitch-slapping that W8/W8.1 has, atrocious phone sales, etc) and saying "Oops! Next time we'll get it. Oh, and you'll have to pay all over again."
I have zero interest in Metro, or the whole tiles motif. They function well enough for touch interfaces, even if I don't like their aesthetic take on it... but meanwhile back in the real world, people don't get a lot of work on touch devices (excepting niche cases, which is exactly why it's a bad idea for general-purpose use)
