The description is very vague.

The window is presented even if the method is not called. So what is the real purpose of this method? It is often called in Initialize method of many samples of a single window apps here on docs.microsoft.com, however whenever I comment it out, it just presents itself anyway.

Hi, sorry for the delayed response to this issue. For apps that use XAML (which is the majority of UWP apps), the XAML Window object surfaces information from CoreWindow, and the CoreWindow object is rarely used directly. The docs for Window and Window.Activate have more information that might be useful.
