One of the Microsoft technologies is UWP - Universal Windows Platform. It looks like it is still maintained, but it is not based on recent versions of .Net. Does anybody know why? What is the problem there?

An example of why this is important is the Bluetooth support. It is present in WinRT, but not in .Net8. Proper understanding of relation between these technologies may help to find an answer on how to make a Bluetooth capable app in Windows using right and recent technologies.
If you want to be able to use the latest .NET features in a Windows Desktop GUI app, the recommended approach is to migrate to WinUI 3. Or use WPF or Windows Forms. UWP projects don't not support .NET 5 and later versions and never will: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Add-NET-678-support-to-UWP/1596483
When it comes to the native Windows Runtime APIs, you can still use these in .NET and any other type of desktop apps on Windows. Please refer to the docs for more information and examples of how to do this.
