So much for "Microsoft ❤️ open source"

They don't.
While we're on the subject, neither does Google.

When someone says that Microsoft is NOT an ally to free software on /r/opensource, they're almost ALWAYS downvoted. Then their prized company pulls this shit.

Op article is from 2020.
This Microsoft article https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/what-is-maui is dated 30 January 2023 and still uses the MAUI brand name, so Microsoft have not fixed their mistake
This should be a slam dunk case of copyright infringement for the original Maui project. Isn't this the sort of thing EFF (EFFE?) should be fighting in the courts on behalf of small open source projects?

From the article (from original Maui's response):
a UI framework that as of today is still the first result in Google when searching for the term “Maui UI framework” but that due to the might of GitHub (another Microsoft subsidiary) and Microsoft own website (specifically, their blog) SEO that will change over time.
Exactly this has happened. On both Google and DuckDuckGo (partially Bing?) all the top results are Microsoft Maui, you have to scroll down for original Maui

This was posted three years ago. My guess is that the recent replies made it show up in "hot" again. I see a lot of old posts with new comments recently.

Nothing Microsoft ever does should be trusted or relied upon. They are a bad actor who always operates in bad faith and should be treated as such.
Still better than Google though.
