I do a lot of app dev and recently looked into Uno to see what it was because I was also confused.
Uno is sort of an alternative to Xamarin.Forms aimed at windows developers that aren't happy that Xamarin.Forms uses a non-standard XAML. Uno uses UWP XAML, which is preferred by these users.
The way I like to think of the two frameworks is that Uno is a cross-platform framework that aims to align systems to the Windows way of doing things, while Xamarin.Forms is more of a "do iOS/Android" in same codebase and just happens to also support windows. There is unique value props in each framework (e.g. Uno also targets WASM and Xamarin.Forms targets Samsung Tizen).
Here is a good high level of Uno: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyo2BI4rn0g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyo2BI4rn0g
