From #9682 (comment):

Q: ​Will we be able to build from the source or only view due to private dependencies?

A: To be clear, we are doing shared source, not open source, as there are underlying interwoven components linking WinUI 3 to the system that we can't share. We will not support building, deploying, or running the source code and will not accept PRs for it. We will support viewing, searching, and debugging of the source code when it is available.

That info is also in README.md in the winui3 branch:

Please note that although the source code for WinUI 3 is available in this repository it cannot be compiled by non-Microsoft developers at this time.
