They were in the days of WinRT/UAP/UWP, but that backfired, and with the mismanagemt no one cares about WinUI 3.0 anyway.

Hence why there is even documentation on how to migrate, now legacy.

"Roadmap for Windows Runtime apps using C++"

"Win32 and COM APIs for UWP apps"

Specially the subsection "Alternatives to Win32 and COM API".

You're welcome, it helps that the documentation is still around.

There is stuff from SGI and HP-UX that I can no longer back my comments, as those pages are no longer available on the Web.
