You can see the WIC (and by extension Windows [Live] Photo Gallery) doesn't
support XMP outside of JPEG and TIFF (for PNG they only support tEXt):

Seems to be a common problem. According to this forum, Photoshop and many Adobe
products don't either (although the last comment indicates that it's planned
for Photoshop in future):

I still think we write them out regardless since there are plenty of other apps
that support it. And if someone has to use Adobe or some other app that doesn't
when editing a photo, they can always use XMP sidecars.
