DirectX 12 is awesome. Gaming push is great except for UWP, whose motives are untrustworthy without clear openness commitment.

UWP just means portable across OneCoreUAP devices. Xbox, PC, HoloLens, etc.

UWP is a great idea, except it sure looks like a trap to lock consumer Windows PC commerce to the Windows Store.

It's not locked to the store. The store is really important to the ecosystem but non-store on regular PCs isn't going away.

Please define "isn't going away". Does it include disabling open install by default with a setting to enable it? A paywall?

I can't imagine either of those things happening. Though I guess MacOS already did the former so maybe someday that.

If Microsoft would make a clear and binding commitment along these lines, we'd support UWP.

I do think it's disingenuous for Microsoft employees to publicly opine that it'll remain open while execs refuse to commit.

Haven't they though? Including in direct response to you?

No, they have consistently refused to make commitments, and only state vague platitudes about openness at their press events.
