They are 15-years too late to try to get people on their store.
I remember when it first came out, you couldn’t even put normal programs on it. Only the new Metro apps…that flopped. Ah, how I had hoped at the time it would be like Linux’s repos, a one-stop-shop to update everything.

This. They know it too. They embraced winget as a natural consequence.
