C# is managed with GC, VS Code is Electron. MS has no native tools. QT rules that one.

UWP is native, you can code rich GUI in C++ without any GC involved.

Currently it only works for MS platforms (Windows incl. ARM, xbox, embedded) but they might make it cross platform in some future. Technically the API is not that complex, i.e. unlike WPF it’s not that hard to port from the current Direct3D to Vulkan or GLES or Metal.

There's .NET Native, not to mention older techs like Win32.

Not the same as real native like C++.

Probably news to the Win32 devs of the world that their technology is "not the same as real native like C++." What distinction do you mean to make here?
