If 3D is for everyone, why isn't Microsoft marketing Paint 3D to anyone?

If you didn't know that Microsoft says "3D is for everyone" and that "Paint 3D is your 3D art studio for Windows", you're not alone.
Microsoft is reinventing Windows as a platform for creators via a host of innovations such as Paint 3D. And though Redmond boasted it's bringing 3D to everyone at the October 2016 reveal, consumers don't know that because Microsoft isn't telling them.

Conversely, tech enthusiasts know all about Microsoft's vision for creators which includes Paint 3D, the Fall Creators Update, the innovative Surface devices, HoloLens and mixed reality and the recent Creators Update. Microsoft's Creators Updates are bringing new features to Windows while HoloLens leads the industry's charge into mixed (virtual and augmented) reality.
With these tools, Microsoft's creating a robust platform for creators of varying skill levels. Sadly most "regular" consumers don't know any of this. Even those with the Creators Update may be unaware of Microsoft's reimagining of a Windows classic, Microsoft Paint, with Paint 3D:

Paint 3D makes "creating" on a Windows PC using touch and a pen an entirely new and robust, yet simple experience.

Furthermore, as part of Microsoft's strategy to implement 3D throughout Windows and to bring 3D to everyone it is core to Microsoft's vision for the Creators Updates. It's therefore ironic (even confusing) that Microsoft isn't doing more to promote Paint 3D to consumers.

So for developing markets, would they have to convert the holographic artworks into tangible forms using 3D printing or CNC milling? That would make it quite harder to market as art industry is already slow with artworks that are in reality.
