That's because WPF is the base of Silverlight, which they wanted to push,
also for applications.
Just like .NET (and so Windows Forms) "superseded" Win32.
Meanwhile, Win32 is still around and functioning just fine.
And as long as Microsoft supports Visual C++, win32 will be around.
It's mostly about marketing; very little about technology.
Microsoft needs to make money, as any commercial enterprise.
