No, it is fully supported and in active development. https://github.com/dotnet/winforms
I was doing some simple internal tooling with EF. You know the deal, toss in a new row into a table to do something or other, simple CRUD stuff. I was making it in WASM just for the sake of trying out the framework. Turns out this is a thing: https://github.com/dotnet/SqlClient/issues/599 , which prevents EF from running. The wiki page being referenced is gone though, so I don't know the reason why it'd be incompatible. To me it doesn't make that much sense, since a console application would be functionally the same, just outside a browser.
I never said WebForms are better. My experience with those ended around 2012 when I moved to backend. I know that asp.net was fluctuating with different concepts (mvc, razor, etc) but recently researching what Microsoft is considering latest and suggested to use - turned out it's "Razor pages" (and not mvc). When I went thru couple of courses on 'razor pages' topic they turned out to be closer in architecture to old webforms. at least in my opinion.
