.NET Core is for cli or server software primarily. Not for gui apps. So probably not. They'll continue with Mono on linux I think.

UWP is .NET Core isn't it?

The .NET stack inside UWP is .NET Core (for the most part), but the UI stack of UWP is WinRT controls [you can read that as modern COM controls] implemented mostly in C/C++ and directly a part of Windows.

So .NET Core doesn't benefit from UWP UI library, but UWP typically benefits from .NET Core upgrades.

The news this week was that it works with .net standard 2.0 but I assume only on windows.

If keepass were a .net standard library, you could have different front-ends for various platforms. Making the front-end crossplatform is a good goal too. I'm sure you could use bindings to Qt or gtk. There's various native crossplatform front-ends in the works too. See my comments below.
