How is this fair at all?
1. This is "only true" for almost all the apps
2. A much better alternative without that waste already exists in 3rd-party apps, so no new packaging format is needed to fix it
3. Is this new shiny toy MSIX the one that doesn't even allow changing installation path?
The problems you're describing are technically problems of apps, not really problems of Windows (any more). Yes arguably the line is blurred, you can say this is a pedantic distinction because Windows = the apps that people use. But the tech is there.
MSIX indeed picks the install path for you but very few users want to change it these days. Chrome installer doesn't let you pick either.
The old tech is also the official OS one, so all the responsibility for not fixing it lies with the OS, can't blur it with the apps
Having a better alternative while still not fixing the old system does not shield the OS from this.
Neither does the existence of other bad apps like Chrome shield the new system from the blame for making the same obvious mistake, especially when the example of macOS with its simple bundled app folders that you can just drag&drop around has been right there the whole time
Your post went dead for some reason, but that seemed unfair so I vouched for you and upvoted it. We may not fully agree on this, but your discussion is civilized and should not have been flagged.
