Description

### Type of issue

Missing information

### Description

In the table of permissions supported per platform, all permissions for Windows are marked with an X. The article then states that if a permission is marked with an X then it will always have a status of `Granted` when checked at runtime, this is not the case.

I have a MAUI application that allows the permission `LocationWhenInUse` for all platforms. When checking the status of this permission on Windows it will always return `Denied`. This is contrary to the documentation.

Is this just another case of MAUI documentation disregarding the Windows platform, or has something been missed?
