It can be really nice to have an official way to download and install software in one click. For a few years after the windows store was released, I used to look there first for software but I was always disappointed. They never managed to make it good enough that anything I wanted would be published there.

Windows store started with only being able to serve UWP applications that were really constrained in what they could do. I just laughed when my competitors went that way as they'd lost some rather important features.

As a person I just hate an "official ways" as in my opinion they are detrimental to customers but to each their own.


When I used to use windows 10+ years ago, ninite.com did this job perfectly.
