Hi, thank you for your feedback. This article is intended to support legacy apps that use the old way of integrating with SMTC. As it states in the first paragraph:

"Starting with Windows 10, version 1607, UWP apps that use the MediaPlayer class to play media are automatically integrated with the System Media Transport Controls (SMTC) by default. This is the recommended way of interacting with the SMTC for most scenarios. For more information on customizing the SMTC's default integration with MediaPlayer, see Integrate with the System Media Transport Controls."

The linked article Integrate with the System Media Transport Controls has the most recent information.
