Can we create an Universal Windows Apps for applications having driver interaction?

As I know, Microsoft Store hosts only Universal Windows Applications. Also, if my understanding is correct, Universal Windows Applications runs inside a container making driver interaction not possible (is this correct?). So does that mean that any application available on Microsoft Store cannot contain drivers? or cannot have a logic to interact with Windows drivers?
If that is the case, then devices where we rely just on Microsoft Store for any application (like smartphone), how can we install apps that can interact with drivers?

You do have ability to implement a UWP interact with driver.
For example, in case you search for Printer, you will find UWP for printers and they have ability to check the level of cartridge , status of the printer and so on and this proves , it is possible.
Take a look at:
