> Since Zig is not internally supported at Microsoft just yet (chain of trust, etc.)

Is there something about Zig in particular that makes this the case, or is it just an internal politics thing?

I don't know why, but I'm quite certain it's neither of the two. If anything, it has probably to do with commitment: When a company as large as MS adopts a new language internally, it's like spinning up an entire startup internally, dedicated to developing and supporting just that new language, due to the scale at which things are run across so many engineers and projects.
