It can be argued that the libreoffice dude is providing a service. If you were deeply invested in the windows ecosystem, with most of your apps coming from the store and you also have like 20 windows computers, buying it for $10 is totally worth it.
1 click install and auto updates being the advantage. Not to mention a centralized way to make sure all your machines are running the same version.
It's not like it's a subscription or per machine license.
The Windows Store limits the number of machines that you can install paid software on to 10. If you are managing a lot of computers you'd be better off with some actual management software or at least a package manager like Chocolatey. Then you can push software to your machines, run updates, or uninstall stuff whenever you like.
Literally every use case you just said can be automated using winget, for free.
Windows store apps don't even update half the time if you don't open the store and manually update it yourself
