Nice! Could you open a Docs PR to add this info to the MediaElement Platform Specific Initialization section before we merge this PR?

Is this a correct thing to do though? I honestly don't know hence the question.

I ask primarily because of this https://superuser.com/questions/53935/getting-mac-os-x-applications-to-close-after-last-window-closed/53940#53940 answer.

#if MACCATALYST
protected override Window CreateWindow(IActivationState? activationState)
{
Window window = base.CreateWindow(activationState);

So, e.g., on Windows the call is new Window(appShell) and on Mac Catalyst it is base.CreateWindow(activationState).

Is this by design that appShell is not passed in? Again honest question.
