No the author, but I can see a use case where you have already existing "services"/"daemons" with your client Win32 app. If you want to rewrite the client from Win32 to UWP, it seems that you wouldn't be able to?

Why do that? Indeed one could just call Windows 10 API from its existing client [1], but it seems that you would miss out on the easy install/update from the Store and other benefits a UWP app provides.
