replyWould that UI be hard to accomplish?
You mean conceptually or to match it? Native components are pretty much impossible to match without actually using the native framework which provides them, so you need WinUI/WPF.
replyWin32 provides its own components which are basically Win95 style apps, and you can draw the components using some graphics APIs by yourself.
The whole native development area is a mess exactly because making your own (decent) renderer is a huge undertaking.
But you are making false equivalence, the Win32 GUI API is decades out of date from modern UIs. I can use flutter and make a pixel perfect equivalent of the above UI in an hour, with the exact same responsiveness behavior on both windows tablets and desktop, and scales perfectly in high DPI displays. 3 hours if you want the toggle animation timing to be exactly the same.
replyI came from the WinForms world so don't pretend I don't understand Win32 programming. The fault lies with Microsoft for not investing in it more.
