Also from what I see MS done this intentionally, means they either no longer loves COM or there was some other good reason.
Primary consumer of COM interfaces is Visual Basic. It was really only Bill Gates who loved Basic, he wrote a Basic interpreter in 1975 and created Microsoft as a business that sold Basic interpreters. As gamedev was locked in C++, there was no real use case for COM there, so MS probably does the expected thing and goes with straight C++.
