On: WinUI – The modern native UI platform of Windows

This basically fixes all of them by building a common umbrella that all existing UI toolkits (UWP, WPF, WinForms, Win32) can use.

It's the other way around, isn't it? They're not going to reimplement the Win32 API on top of WinUI, but WinUI uses Win32 in part for its implementation on some platforms (that platform being classic desktop Windows).

What I meant was you can use WinUI 3 in your Win32 app, so it is a UI toolkit that can be used in any other existing UI toolkit.
