UCRT would give them pretty good compliance with requirements of C99,
C11 and C17 standards. Not perfect, but a lot better that circa-2014
libraries that they are using today.
Also, I suppose that it will give better compatibility with MS tools.
Personally for you, it likely means that GMP DLLs that I suggested
would work. And these DLLs are smaller, better tested and hopefully
compiled from newer sources than non-UCRT variant that you found.
