Agreed, but I imagine there's hesitancy at MS to try again.

MS tried their hand at purpose built mobile OS during the Palm Pilot era, then again during the Blackberry era.

Windows hasn't historically ported to small devices with great success.

Edit: I think there's also likely some awareness (and fear) that the unified mobile PC gaming platform race is nearing it's end, and already has two strong contenders in Linux and Android.
