Win32 is what I would call native, and MFC/WinForms are wrappers around that.

So in technical sense, WinUI is as native as Qt/wxWidgets.

Just my preference on terminology, rather than anything against WinUI (I've been developing a WinUI app).

None of that Win32 UI stuff is being updated anymore so it’s more “classic” than “native.”

One could say both are native Windows UI toolkits. Kind of similar to when Apple shipped Carbon and Cocoa.
