    not sure about the android stuff but MS store has good functionality in certain instances. For example, if you have a Bluetooth xbox controller that’s acting up you can use the Microsoft Xbox controller app to sort it out really easily/intuitively.

    Also works great for getting subsystem for Linux OS installs without a lot of fuss provided your machine is capable.

      Just did that this week to get a new controller set up with my Steamdeck, works great.

      Proprietary Microsoft apps dont really count towards the stores usefulness, they are obviously going to try and shoehorn you into their store their stuff.

      Most other apps on Windows are usually distributed manually through executables or installers.
