I don't understand. Just please make a good UI toolkit for your desktop OS and stick to it. Wasn't the point of the new settings app to use UWP/XAML?

.NET MAUI is Xamarin Forms with a new name so devs don't get whiplash, UWP is falling apart slowly and apparently now being abandoned by MS themselves, so I guess I'm supposed to use their new built-in edge webview for all of my desktop UI now? I don't want to make my desktop apps in javascript, WASM is too slow to be useful, everything else is a hack.



This Settings page is still using UWP/XAML though these days the more accurate term is probably WinUI3 XAML. It isn't using a WebView at all. It is using JS as the programming language responding to/driving the UI, but it's still "native controls" (in so much as such a concept ever really has any meaning).
