Thanks for the feedback, adding native preview support in Files doesn't make sense to work on as other software can do this already with the functionality. If you want to minimize other software you can set the default program to Microsoft Edge as it is installed with Windows and then use the info panes preview option or thumbnails in grid layouts.

Thank you for your feedback. To better clarify our position, we prefer to focus our efforts on areas where we can have more of an impact. Thumbnail generation is very complex, and as @Josh65-2201 mentioned, there are a number of tools that already do this.
