Now that UWP is even more dead with changes MS Store policy for games do you thin that MS will and should make their default apps (Mail, Groove, Calendar etc) win32 in near future?
And if not, what is future of MS developed UWP apps? Are they going to be actively developed, I think they need to be much better and fully fledged, Photos and Mail especially.

Besides it's all pixels and interactions. One could create a Win32 program that was indistinguishable from an UWP app. </p>
