I'm not sure you're addressing anything the comment above said.
Their complaint was that people invested a lot of resources into a technology that Microsoft promoted, and then that technology hit a dead-end with no good upgrade path aside from "rewrite it all!" What year that occurred is irrelevant.
Ironically you brought up MVC 1.0, which Microsoft did EXACTLY THE SAME THING TO, when they released Asp.Net Core MVC which also has no direct upgrade path. In fact, it wasn't until the last twelve months that Microsoft even tried offering anything when they realized it has been ten years and a lot of companies remain stuck to this day on .Net Framework.
Yes, Web Forms was poorly designed. But this is about Microsoft's poor upgrade offerings more than any specific technology, and an import lesson for people investing time/resources into Blazor today (given that it uses a proprietary WebAssembly compilation system and a proprietary back-end not dissimilar from WebForms in terms of lock-in).
