I was reading about all the conflicting windows ui frameworks over the years, and supposedly windows frequently has different internal teams pushing different standards and fighting with each other over it. End result is that WinUI 3 is one of 17 GUI techs that's still shipping today (8 of those are made by Microsoft itself, the other 9 are things like Electron, etc).
So this sounds like a much needed clean up, but like most things we'll have to wait and see if Microsoft actually follows through on what they're saying.
