    Is the Microsoft Store not full of apps not created by Microsoft?

          That’s like saying that github is equivalent to the Microsoft store. Sure, they provide the space for the repository. It’s controlled by users though, as the name implies. It isn’t the official repository, like the Microsoft store is the official “repository” for Windows.

            Yeah, perfect analogy. No amount of external helper tools making installs from GitHub easier would change the security implications. (Cargo-binstall is an example of such a helper.)
