Is it possible to use a universal Windows platform for developing Windows software rather than an application

I would like to develop specialized software and not an app that will eventually be deployed to multiple client sites and does not appear in the Store the Microsoft . Can I use the Universal Windows Platform for this? I did some research and the official Microsoft documentation says -

Universal Windows Platform (UWP) is an application platform for Windows 10. You can develop applications for UWP with just one set of APIs, one application package and one store for access to all Windows 10 devices - PC, tablet, phone, Xbox, HoloLens, Surface Hub, etc.

We want to develop specialized software with all its installers / DLLs / binaries, etc., which we will send to several clients and install on their PC. So my question is: can we use the Universal Windows Platform to develop such software? Or, if it will only be used to develop applications that ultimately need to be downloaded to the Microsoft Store for payment?

UWP applications should not be distributed through the public Microsoft Store. You can distribute applications through downloads and, alternatively, through Microsoft Store for Business , which is a company-specific view in the Microsoft Store, where you can publish internal applications.

In addition, you can package existing desktop applications as UWP applications, including their installers, with Desktop Bridge , which is useful when your application includes functionality that is not available in clean UWP applications.
