But Notepad is not web based? It's still a native app but now uses UWP instead.

UWP, one of the 10+ frameworks used to run Windows 11's system components. Wonderful! Exemplary!

Those are design languages/styles, not frameworks. There is a fewer number of frameworks but it's still a handful. Win32, WPF, UWP, MAUI, etc... but at least they're fairly consistent at using UWP for system UI, with older bits using Win32 still.

Which is exactly the problem, and isn't UWP, rather WinUI/WinAppSDK, the WinRT version on top of Win32, instead of UWP.

UWP is actually faster, yes that is that bad.
