Microsoft will probably only allow the usage of Apps (in contrast to normal
Win32 programs) there. Thus of course it requires the RT API.

Please keep in mind that while Windows 10 works on PCs, smartphones, the
XBox, the HoloLens and other embedded systems this does not mean that
developers are allowed to use the Win32 API everywhere (in fact the only
one which allows it seems to be PC).
