How about for interfacing with hardware, like scanners, scales, specialized printer (like Zebra label printers)... No way doing that in a web application as far as I know.
Lots of industries still use those.

yup, for some small cheat programm, WinForm is fast .. use it myself (like 1-2 tools a year)
but if it has to look nice, i allways use WPf, it just needs some time to get used to XAML.

Yep. xaml is the reason why I don't use wpf.
it's such a chaotic mess.
Never could get beyond that point.

it's not that hard to make WinForms look like WPF, since the system allows you to overwrite the drawing of any control. honestly the last WinForm project I did only took me a few minutes to get the layout correct and tested, then spent about a day overriding the onPaint handler for theme aware clean looking UI.
Easy enough to build a library of these things and extend some of the controls.

If Swing is included even though JavaFX replaces it, why isn't WPF included? I would choose WPF, so the closest is UWP and as I understand it WinUI is basically a fancy coat of paint on UWP with better WinRT support (correct me if I'm wrong, not a big UI guy).
