I think it’s just the first step since VBA is in a dire need of a replacement.
Around the time Office 365 rolled out and replaced Office 2023 at my old job we’ve had a crapload of old VBA tools just refuse to work. Those tools were in use for 10-15 years sometimes with barely any maintenance required.
Then with O365 some calls to certain 3rd party libraries resulted in Excel crashing without any single error message, stack, nothing. At that time everyone understood they need to get off that ship ASAP, corporate policies got super strict on end user created stuff. PowerBI and Power Automate are not there to replace it and I think MS feels threatened.
My last client i worked for in SAP had a crapload of VBA macros for some automations. No one knows how to maintain them anymore, since the only guy that was proficient on them (there was zero documentation…) left the company . They refuse to port them to newer tech
