From the page: "...which are mapped to native controls at runtime, which means that your user interfaces are fully native. "
I read this as "we allow design in our forms library, but compile to native controls for use at runtime."
It took me a couple reads to come to that conclusion, I was also confused by the wording. If that is not the case, I definitely have the same question as you. Perhaps the page could use some clarification.
