Microsoft supports C++ and pre-compiled C# for Windows UI development too.
As a UI dev, I'd much prefer the hot-reloading that you get from Flutter, React Native, and web UI development though. But I still care about battery life and global warming so it can be hard to justify the flashy new stuff for most the UI development I do, which is mostly just list views.
I'm also weary of the post-mortem debugging experience for these higher level frameworks. C++ is nice for this given that usually the OS and UI frameworks are implemented in it too, at least on Windows.
