It was my understanding that the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) was Microsoft's security/privacy/reliability/maintainability focused API layer between an application and the operating system. Which also added OS level features; app permissions, live tiles, notification toasts, history cards, sharing options, etc. Essentially, Microsoft backing into the same position Android has had since its beginning and iOS adopted before supporting 3rd party applications. Is UWP, or a similar boundary, still a focus of Windows 11?
