Could this be a cause of performance issues? If you have tons of generated XAML types (Like, say, the MAUI Source Repo has with its samples) that might not be good for Roslyn performance if it has to go over them.

@drasticactions I think this source generator needs to emit EditorBrowsableState.Never on the above types:

https://github.com/dotnet/maui/blob/main/src/Controls/src/SourceGen/CodeBehindGenerator.cs

They come from Styles.xaml and Colors.xaml.
