It doesn't just use the COM ABI et al. It also uses the distributed bits.

by dblohm7 8y ago
COM is dependent on Win32, and UWP is based on COM.

by dblohm7 8y ago
I don't think we'll ever see Win32 retired. .NET and UWP aren't distinct subsystems; they run atop Win32.

I'm fine with being able to compile with mingw (and we already can on GCC), but we can't ship our release builds with it; it's too far behind the official Windows SDK in terms of supporting new platform features.
