What documentation did states that CreateSwapChainForHwnd will stop an application from being published to the Store?

The store accepts desktop application submissions and has for a while now.

That documentation predates the change in policy for the store. Back when it was written, only one kind of application could be submitted to the store.

It has changed and desktop applications can be submitted to the store. This means that using IDXGIFactory2::CreateSwapChainForHwnd or IDXGIFactory::CreateSwapChain is allowed. This is specified in the store publishing documentation, where the main Get Started guide includes the text:

Microsoft Store also supports a wide range of app types and technologies, and allows you to bring your traditional desktop apps to the Store without changing your code or installer.

This does mean that anything based around HWNDs will be fine.
