all of Microsoft's UI is like this and I really don't get it. Forms, WPF, and UWP were all abandoned at different stages of development.
Microsoft ships a UWP demo repository which includes the most fully functional Bluetooth manager anyone has ever built for W10. The stock Bluetooth manager has maybe 10% of the functionality. It's also fundamentally broken in a lot of ways. But this UWP demo they have should have been the stock app. It's wild.
Then of course you still have 50 year old UIs hiding in the lowest levels of the control panel. You can dig through the archeological record on your own pc and look at Win3 UI designs. It's astonishing.
At this point, I don't know anyone who uses any of Microsoft's UI frameworks for a real product. It's either QT or Avalonia or something. Who would ever trust their newest framework when every prior framework was abandoned half-finished and left to rot for years?
