TypeConverters are fundamental to UWP and WinUI 3. GitHub Repo with UWP type converters
UWP/WinRT XAML supports [ParseFromString] on custom types, but yeah there's no way to just have a custom converter for a specific property unfortunately (I've opened an issue about this years ago, here). Anyway, the standard practice is to just always use double properties, not float. For better or worse, that's the standard floating point type that all projected XAML properties use, so there's that.
