RNW currently pulls in 2.5 (as of this change)

2.6 is coming. We'll want to start pointing to that once it's available.

A current preview here: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.UI.Xaml/2.6.0-prerelease.210217002

Bugs in WinUI2.6 which would cause non-negligible issues for RNW:

https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/issues/5277 https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/issues/5299 https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/issues/5298

React Native Gallery was able to upgrade to WinUI 2.6 and not experience the most concerning issues of WebView unresponsive and failed store publishes. Backported change to WinUI2.6.
