Actually there's a lot of difference. The store was designed for apps, not games. It's why literally every >50gb game released there has constant broken downloads for a massive part of the userbaseNot this again...
There is no difference between a "program" and an "app", so calling them "apps" as a way of demeaning them is childish.
UWP programs are not encrypted by default either, that's up to the developer just like it is with win32. You've been corrected on this many times yet still keep spreading it.
"without aid or permission of the developer" means it's not a right or a privilege, it's just something you want to do.
Saying MS have done nothing to make their store and ecosystem more attractive in the last 3 years is a flat out lie. There is nothing wrong with using your own games exclusivity to make people use something either, or do you take issue with Sony and Nintendo forcing people to buy a PS4 and Switch to play their games? If anything MS are the best in this regard, putting their console games on PC now. You look at it as MS taking things away from you instead of looking at it the way it really is - if not for UWP and their new store you wouldn't even have the option of buying these games on PC. More games is never a bad thing.
Buying games on the Microsoft Store isn't some evil that will lead to win32 being removed. You need to stop spreading this FUD at every possible opportunity.
Win32 as it is is being EOL'd because it's a horribly insecure shitshow that needs to be taken out back and shot. Win32 will always be supported, but it won't be run natively in the future due to how insecure and malicious it can be.
Carry on though I guess, this thread wasn't exactly made to incite intelligent discussion lol.
