    Kind of off-topic:

    But...how long can WinUI 3 live in the Micro$oft software harem?

    Before a new virgin-grade GUI API arrive? :)

    Why not just use Win32API?

    Enshitification doesn't apply only to existing softwares.
    It has spread to software creation and even other fileds in the real world. That's the current trend.

    Yes. It can be created as shit from the very start. It seems to be the
    goal these days. Make as much shitty code as fast as you can.

    When the money rolls in, you'll not notice the stench of the pure shit
    you sold.
