Timesheet in Azure DevOps Services

I would like to know if we have timesheet tracking on a day/individual basis capability available in Azure DevOps. I know there are 3rd party integrations available but

Q1. is there a market place extension available by MS itself?

Q2. If not, is there a feature roadmap for timesheet in AzDo services?

Thanks

A1. As far as I know, there is no Microsoft extension for time tracking in Azure DevOps.
A2. I surely don't hope so. ^

^ My opinion: Azure DevOps is not meant to be a time tracking system. Furthermore, with agile development processes we're steering away from hours and moving into a more abstract way of estimating time with story points. Sure, we can register how many hours we spent on a task, but that should only be a rough number as far as I'm concerned.

I understand that knowing the amount of hours someone worked on a task/user story might be interesting, or maybe even necessary for things like billing. But I think that having time tracking be an integral part of your DevOps process probably makes the developers just write 8 hours a day on tasks, rendering all estimates and hours useless in the end.

A1. No, MS does not have extensions for timesheets. I think, it`s available in Project Server/Online only.

A2. I did not see any plans to get this feature on Azure Devops. Azure DevOps Feature Timeline
