UWP XAML item templates should not be available in a WinUI 3 C++ project #5763

Today UWP XAML item templates are shown for a WinUI 3 C++ project under the XAML node. These shouldn't be displayed in a WinUI 3 project to prevent users from accidentally selecting the wrong item template.

UWP support will still be there in the prerelease WinAppSDK package. Apps that want to use WinUI3 on UWP in prerelease, can choose to do so, so I don't see a need to hinder this.

I'm not taking about WinUI 3 UWP, I'm taking about platform XAML item templates being available for WinUI 3 (UWP or desktop) projects.

@Jaiganeshkumaran can you please add a screenshot of where you're seeing this? Thanks.

These are UWP XAML templates, being shown under XAML for a WinUI 3 desktop app

Additionally, C++/WinRT templates for UWP XAML show up too:

Thanks for the feedback. We're aware of this shortcoming and the confusion it can cause and hope to address it in a future release.
