I support WPF applications and I agree with previous comments.
Consider this use case: Suppose I have a critical bug fix in a mission-critical application that leverages MSIX. I need my end users to receive the fix the next time they run the application. Some of my end-users run the WPF application via desktop shortcuts, some via tiles (real world scenario).
