It's baffling that a software company isn't able to give best software experience in their own operating system and software stack.

That would assume their primary goal is giving a great experience. At best that's going to be secondary. More likely tertiary or less.

Primary goal is to move everyone to windows store, then lock it down like apple store.

Literally why Valve started working on Proton.

Microsoft fails so miserably at this stuff it would be kind of funny if it weren't so gratingly infuriating.

Don't forget collecting user data for ads and selling to other companies

Kinda figured that was implied in the first sentence, since all app stores are glorified data harvesting operations. (except maybe F-Droid)
