I think to some extent they felt WPF was a strong enough backward compatibility story. Windows 7 supports WPF well. There is a cross-over between WPF XAML and UWP XAML and it is possible to support both with a lot of code shared and even some XAML shared.

Of course, there have been bumps in the road in the compatibility story between the two XAML environments. .NET Standard 2.0 will help a ton (in the very near future), deeply increasing the amount of .NET code that can be shared between the environments. XAML Standard 1.0 (in the slightly further future) will help a lot, in particular the fact that Xamarin.Forms is planning to implement a WPF renderer for sharing a much larger portion of XAML across every platform.
