You're facing an issue that is still standing in Uno, that will be adjusted soon. Basically, if you use a UserControl, some of the properties defined there may not be taken into account when the control is created.
You can fix this in one of two ways:
Change the UserControl to a ContentControl
Add the following property in your csproj:
<UnoSkipUserControlsInVisualTree>false</UnoSkipUserControlsInVisualTree>
This issue is a remnant of a time where Android had a very short UI Thread stack space, and that every layer in the visual tree counted. It's not as critical anymore.
