Tbh outside of maybe a sandboxing aspect, UWP made zero sense to me when Windows Phone fully died. Before that, the ability to have one codebase target both desktop and mobile seemed interesting at least, but now, it would seem that there are only a tiny of handful of applications that could be useful as universal between the remaining UWP targets (desktop, xbox, IoT, whatever else)

What it did not make sense was creating an incompatible .NET runtime for it, or the way it was introduced with device specific APIs (Win 8, Win 8.1), using shared code folders.
