I think we have distinguish between UWP as UI toolkit and UWP for as library for system functions. The latter will stay but I am really doubtful about the former. I don't know of any aspect where UWP UI ie better than WPF or Win32 so I doubt it will get more than the little adoption it already has.

Windows.UI.Composition makes the UWP UI toolkit way better than anything that came before it. https://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2016/09/16/animations-with-the-visual-layer/ https://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2016/09/16/animations...

WinUI is actually open source, and WinUI 3.0 will open-source all XAML controls, XAML Stack and Composition.

  But when will MS lose interest in this too and do something else? I don’t think it can live as open source without a lot of MS support.

    Well, this also work for everything MSFT launches. Not exclusive to UWP or anything.
