Excellent! From the Softpedia article that you linked:
Softpedia wrote:This year’s Build developer conference, which will be a digital-only event streamed online, will mark the end of the UWP concept as we know it in Windows 10.

In the session agenda for the upcoming event, Microsoft explains that it’s planning to unify Win32 and UWP apps for reason that the company doesn’t share but which isn’t impossible to figure out: the UWP experiment failed, so focusing on Win32 is the thing that makes sense right now.

As Microsoft watcher Paul Thurrott notes, this could be “the final nail in the UWP coffin”
Yay for the Win32 API!
