Anyway, it's clear for me that the age of native controls is

Markup is just a frontend, it can work with anything. In fact,
history only returned to where it started: UI was described in
DSL since early versions of Windows (resources), you couldn't
waste RAM on UI-building code, instead OS was instructed to
read dialog resource and build the window for you, the resource
was discarded right away, every byte was counted.
Oh so it was for RAM reasons.
I've always wondered why it was that way for MFC. Since then I
much prefer UI-building code.
