Using a compatibility renderer on Windows fails to render the control

Description

Using a compatibility renderer on Windows fails to render the control.

Have defined a custom control and its renderer then registered the same in the startup pipeline.

Then built the app and launched the app, but it's not rendering any output corresponding to the custom control.

This is a follow-up issue for #8183 as initially, the app crashed on startup while using AddCompatibilityRenderer in the startup pipeline.

Then as suggested, modified it to the AddHandler method call, it stopped the crash but still, the output is not rendered.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Clone the repository from the GitHub https://github.com/egvijayanand/maui-issue-8183
2. Navigate to the src folder
3. Open the Issue8183 solution
4. Set Windows as the platform target, then build and launch the app

Hello Team,

This is NOT a feature request to move to the backlog, rather it's a DEFECT resulting in not rendering the control itself on a particular platform. How can this be moved to the backlog?

At least a workaround should have been provided. Seems the intention is to bring down the no. of open issues and not address them meaningfully.

@davidortinau Defects are getting moved to the backlog without even providing a workaround.

Kindly look into it.
