> Since WinUI 3 is multiplatform

Hm? I thought MAUI was the multiplatform UI toolkit and WinUI 3 was the native Windows 10 UI toolkit (evolved from UWP) repackaged for bundling with each app?

Multi-Platform in the windows division means Xbox, older win 10 versions and things. Microsoft uses this term very naive.

I hope I do not destroy the dreams of someone.

You kinda did. :)

I was trying to grok the point of Uno if WinUI was truly multi-platform in the MacOS/Linux/Android/iOS sense.

Just like for Apple multiple platform means macOS, iOS and watchOS, because at the end of the day it isn't the same OS, nor hardware.
