With MAUI releasing later this year, new FluentUI app theme seems to become available in addition to the already existing Material theme. Since this is the case, "native" .NET for Android/iOS should also have an option to use FluentUI controls instead of/in addition to native Material/Human Design controls.

Microsoft seems to be pushing both FluentUI and .NET 6 somewhat hard, yet mobile FluentUI is only available as native (Kotlin/Swift) libraries. After all, we already got FluentUI Web Components ported to Blazor with FAST, and WinUI 3 was FluentUI from the very beginning. As such, with the release of .NET 6 "native" mobile versions would be the only ones without the ability to use Microsoft design/FluentUI out of the box. Does not seem align with the theme of "one .NET" much.

Either Xamarin/.NET mobile or Office/FluentUI team should provide libraries that would bind the already existing native libraries, thus providing the option to use FluentUI in .NET for Android/iOS apps, like what we already have with Material library for Xamarin.Android. This would, in my view, promote the use of both .NET for mobile and FluentUI.
