Windows.Storage.KnownFolderId should have everything in KNOWNFOLDERID

Is there a particular scenario you're interested in here? Most KnownFolders won't work with UWP apps, and if you're not writing a UWP app there's little reason to use StorageFolder.

I think Windows Runtime APIs are simply nicer to use compared to traditional Win32 APIs, which have an unnatural naming convention. Maybe Win32 Metadata could attempt to modernise this but that doesn't seem to be on the roadmap.
