I stopped counting how many generations of UI Frameworks (Modern UI, UWP, WinUI, ...) they released since Windows 7. All of them ware practically unusable. Some reasons:
- They only work for the newest Windows Build
- There are no compatibility packs to target older Windows Versions (7 or 8) or even older Windows 10 Builds (not even the Windows 10 LTSC)
- They are more proof-of-concepts and feel unfinished. After the release, they only get minor updates
- All the minor updates need the newest Windows Build again
- Your customers ask you if you are crazy, because your software doesn't run on a 5 year old PC, that doesn't auto upgrade to the newest Windows version anymore
There are some great alternatives to check out, which even provide cross platform support:
