Umm, those are cumulative 2015/2017/2019 redistributables, they don't mean new programs will work under XP. Invoking non existing API's in other DLLs is still a thing... 

It depends on the developer whether there will be calls in the code that are incompatible with XP. The main thing is that Visual Studio 2019 can compile programs for XP.

Obviously it is necessary to proceed "cum grano salis" as always.
