Microsoft doesn't even seem to care to dogfood outside of using those things for the most basic apps bundled with Windows and those basic apps really show why nobody should use those toolkits.

I have a laptop with a Ryzen 7 4800HS. It's a few years old but it has no business feeling slow. Yet opening the new winUI explorer or notepad shows visible lag in rendering the title/tab bar.

Native gui toolkits with no benefit over using electron, if anything I've seen plenty of electron apps that were more snappy than these. WinUI 3 is a dumpster fire.
