For what it's worth, I do think that the statement "unsigned code can not interact with UWAs" is probably wrong if you take it as an absolute and without context. That's also why my article, which may I remind you this thread is about, says no such thing.
Why? Because UWA, at least at this point in time, is sure to have security holes, especially when opposed by the administrator of a system.
However, the fundamental difference is that dll injection working on Win32 is business as usual, and more than that it's not something that will ever change.
I don't doubt that with implementation effort you can currently get dll injection to work with UWA, but from the point of view of the apparent security design goals of UWP that's a bug, not a feature.
Basing mods or any other lasting work (basically, anything other than cheats which will still happily hack into any hole they find) on something which could be "fixed" at the OS level at any point is not a viable long-term strategy. And that's the fundamental issue.

Why in gods name should modders have to invest effort into hacking together something working (well, maybe, until the next update) on a paradigm that stands against everything they believe in in computing platforms?And you post highlights the problem. People prefer bitching about things not working rather than trying to make it work, or atleast check.
